Dynamic complementarity is the concept that past investments that lead
to higher stocks of skill at one age promote the growth of skills from investment
at that age. We define and provide evidence on dynamic complementarity
using unique Chinese data from a home visiting program
for young children targeted to parents in rural China. In addition, we investigate
growth in learning due to innate, parental, and environmental
factors that occur in the absence of any formal intervention.
