Education people think, of course we have bridges and education that are both Human Capital. This is about, well maybe some of the things that we think of as just spending to help people out, you know, maybe if they go to low income families they actually might have quite powerful effects on the future. Thats what we will explore here. This is thinking about transfers to low income families and what impact they might have and what does the research say about the impact they have on future Living Standards on growth.

We welcome sarah turner who has written paper which is posted on our website, university of virginia. Thank you very much. Sarah . Okay, let me get started. As everyone is coming in to sit down. First, we need to thank david and louise and kerry who just together a Wonderful Program and theyve been good at nudging various people to do what they should on time.

I still have a wonderful career and a beautiful audience that i really love but the spotlight is elsewhere now and im a known quantity now. And thats fine with me to play out this hand. But i dont pay a whole lot of attention to i never did listen much to the roofment when i was a kid i did. I dont listen to music much. Kim works with the boston symphony and we get a lot of classic cal music in the house. We have 11yearold twin boys and they have their preferences, maybe its because theyre playing most of the popular music im hearing in the house i have such a negative take on it.
