Abstract: Mainly due to data unavailability, time with the mother is usually not included as an input in empirical papers trying to find the determinants of child's achievement. This paper attempts to do so by using unique data that collects a child's time-use diary, cognitive and non cognitive test scores. We implement the program evaluation of continuous treatments methodology. The main conclusion is that the returns to maternal time are not monotonic:
increasing maternal time positively affects children's cognitive skills only up to a certain level. This is true both for young and old children. Once we divide the sample according to age and race we find that, at least for cognitive outcomes, young white children seem to benefit particularly from maternal time, while black young children from school/care time. For older children, there is some evidence that white children benefit from spending more time with mothers in all domains while black children present more behavior problems if they receive high maternal time.

The Budget Watch Seminar - State Budget 2011: The Best and the Worst", where the results of the assessment of the 2011 State Budget by a group of academics and businesspeople will be presented. The session, chaired by João Duque, will feature speakers Paulo Trigo Pereira, Manuela Arcanjo and João Carvalho das Neves from ISEG, as well as Carlos Loureiro and Jorge Marrão from Deloitte. The final part will be open to a debate with the audience. The session will take place from 17:00 to 19:00 at ISEG / Quelhas Building, CGD Auditorium.
The VII Portugal/Brazil Seminar - Internationalization of Companies, organized and held annually by the two institutions behind it, the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the Federal University of Minas Gerais and the Higher Institute of Economics and Management of the Technical University of Lisbon, will take place at the ISEG on November 17th.
The Portugal/Brazil Seminar is one of the most obvious facets of a solid internationalization project resulting from the agreement between the two universities, which has been in force since July 2004, aimed at intense and multifaceted scientific cooperation, through which there has been a wide exchange, especially in terms of master's degrees, doctorates and publications on the important subject of Luso-Brazilian relations.
Its main purpose is to discuss the dynamics of the internationalization of companies between the two countries, as well as the more general aspects of cooperation within the framework of the regional integration spaces in which each is located, focusing in particular on bilateral investments within the general framework of economic relations over the last decade and the prospects for the future.
Registration until November 11th to:

Abstract
In school mathematical education a word problem is a problem, which includes non-mathematical words; these words need to be interpreted mathematically to solve the problem. Word problems may mention everything around us: distance, time and velocity, moving cars, ships and planes, walkers and runners, pumps, pipes and pools, mixtures, time and ages, lengths, areas and volumes, prices, percentages, profit, discounts, interest and taxes etc., etc. One great advantage of word problems is that they connect school math with other subjects: physics, chemistry, geography, astronomy etc. Another advantage of word problems is that they teach children to plan multi-step intellectual activity. Indeed, word problems may be classified according to the number of steps (operations with numbers) which need to be undertaken to solve a problem. In Russia word problems may need several steps to solve, in American school almost all problems are one-step. Also in American education there is a strange mixture of opposite attitudes towards word problems: sometimes they are treated as trivial, sometimes as too hard. Attitudes of American students towards word problems are well illustrated by a cartoon of the series "Far Side" showing "Hell library" full of collections of story problems. Why are word problems so easily treated in Russia and so hard and threatening in USA? The purpose of this talk is to try to answer this question and to clarify the ambiguous attitudes of American students and teachers towards word problems.
