This study finds that improvements in economic status can explain virtually all of the 20 percent increase in schooling attainment and most of the observed improvements in child nutrition and declines in ch...

It is thus of interest to examine the potential of expanded modern bioenergy production in Africa. Here we consider bioen...

However, this reversal in the direction of the SES-weight relationship and arguments about the underlying causes of the reversal need to be tested with comparable data for a large and diverse set of nations. ...
