Abstract

This note uses a calibrated model with a 바카라 사이트減edagogical production function바카라 사이트� (Kaffenberger and Pritchett, 2020) to estimate the potential long-term losses to children바카라 사이트檚 learning from the temporary shock of school closures. The model shows that without mitigation, children could lose more than a year바카라 사이트檚 worth of learning even from a three-month school closure as the short-term losses continue to compound after children return to school. Turning to mitigation strategies, the note examines the long-term effects of two strategies, finding that with some mitigation efforts education systems could come back from the crisis stronger than before.
