摘要: This paper models the proximate determinants of school attendance and scores on cognitive educational achievement tests examinations over 600 schoolchildren from Control group a randomized trial in Tanzania, where children Intervention heavily infected with hookworm schistosomiasis received treatment. The modeling approach used random effects framework incorporated inter-relationships between performance various tests, controlling for children's health status, socioeconomic variables, grade level, infrastructure. empirical results showed importance variables such as height hemoglobin concentration scores, especially that are easy to implement developing countries. Also, teacher experience work assignments were significant predictors there was some evidence multiplicative heights test scores. Lastly, comparisons made changes treated untreated group. Am. J. Hum.
