    We identify effects of age at school entry (ASE) on the development of child temperament. Our analysis is based on psychometric measures from a longitudinal cohort study of children in the Rhine-Neckar region in central Germany. In children with a higher ASE due to a birthday late in the year, we find more favorable outcomes with respect to several temperamental dimensions: These children are more persistent and less often hyperactive. The findings are robust if we control for the respective temperamental dimension before entering school. We also show that the ASE effect on persistence is stable over time by comparing the children at age eight and age eleven, after the children have entered Germany's segregated secondary-school tracks. At age eleven, we additionally find significant ASE effects on adaptability to change. Overall, the results point to a high degree of malleability in the considered non-cognitive skills after school entrance. -- Education ; identification ; instrumental variables ; age at school entry (ASE)

    Failure to accumulate human capital is one of the pressing problems of developing countries. Lacking human capital formation bears consequences on an economy wide level, since education contributes to labor productivity. We examine the impact of increased school enrollment with regard to economic growth and income inequality. A dynamic computable general equilibrium (DCGE) model applying a 2000 SAM for Tanzania is used to evaluate the quantitative long-term effects of increased school attendance on overall economic growth and welfare. In order to get an insight in how a potential skill upgrade would affect the economy, we simulate a government program that aims at increasing primary school enrollment. We find that an increase in human capital formation in the long run leads to higher economic growth rates and increases household incomes in a Pareto sense. The results show that the positive effects of enhanced human capital formation are rather moderate in terms of the distribution of the gains from economic growth and hence income inequality does not change substantially. Eines der drängenden Probleme von Entwicklungsländern ist die geringe Rate der Humankapitalakkumulation. Dies hat jedoch Konsequenzen für die gesamte Wirtschaft eines Landes, da Bildung zur Anhebung der Arbeitsproduktivität beiträgt. In diesem Papier wird die Auswirkung einer Erhöhung der Einschulungsrate im Hinblick auf wirtschaftliches Wachstum und die Verteilung von Einkommen untersucht. Es wird ein dynamisches, allgemeines Gleichgewichtsmodell und eine "Social Accounting Matrix" (SAM) von Tansania für das Jahr 2000 angewandt, um ein Regierungsprogramm zu simulieren, welches auf eine Erhöhung der Einschulungsrate abzielt. Die Ergebnisse der Simulation zeigen, dass eine erhöhte Bildung von Humankapital durch höhere Einschulungsraten langfristig zu höherem wirtschaftlichem Wachstum und zu einer Pareto effizienten Anhebung der Haushaltseinkommen führt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen jedoch nur geringe Änderungen der Einkommensungleichheit.
