The Economics of Early Childhood Education

This post will be of interest to our friends in the Geary centre for Human Development and Public Policy.

The current issue of Economics of Eduation Review (link attached) is devoted to the issue of early childhood education.

There's actually something here for everyone, from how childhood interventions may conflict with welfare support programs, whether pre-school education should be financed by the state or the market, whether pre-school has educational benefits, whether pre-school affects cognitive and social development and whether peers have an influence on childhood skill development.

That link didn't work for me.The UCD Library has an electronic subscription to the journal so if you go to the on-line catalogue you can get there & search either under "journals" or "electronic resources".
