The average child in an agricultural community consumes substantially more food during the months after a harvest than the months before, despite efforts to smooth consumption. In this paper we use a 20-year panel data set from Tanzania to test whether consumption seasonality has long-run implications for human capital development. Using repeated measures of consumption during a 3-year period in the early 1990s, we model the annual consumption cycle as a function of household characteristics, and then match statistics from household-specific consumption profiles to human capital outcomes observed in 2010. We find large effects: households who are able to decrease the intra-annual standard deviation of consumption would experience the same long term benefit as a household that increases mean consumption by 3%.
The main objective of this case is to elaborate the manual of processes for the optimization of the resources of the different areas in the Di Lorenzo companies of the city of Machala, determining the problem in the absence of a manual of processes that allows its owner To guide its collaborators to carry out their work efficiently and effectively.
