During her time in the UK, she will work in three complementary projects aimed at providing more scientific evidence about the ways in which early human capital accumulation occurs, eg the dynamic features of the process of skill formation, the complementarities between different inputs and between different dimensions of human capital, and the ways in which interventions change the main features of human capital accumulation. Understanding how early human capital is shaped is crucial for the design of cost-effective scalable policies aimed at children at risk of developmental lag (especially in poor countries).
