Schooling, height, weight-for-height, and migration are attributes of workers associated with their current productivity. These forms of worker heterogeneity are to some degree reproducible: schooling and migration are created by well-described processes, whereas height and weight-for-height are formed by the biological process of human growth, in which the inputs of nutritional intakes, protection from exposure to disease, health care, and activity levels combine to exert a net cumulative effect on the individual's realization of their genetic potential. This paper estimates the productive payoff to the formation of these four human capital stocks in two low-income countries.
