Немецкий язык. Рабочая тетрадь. 10 класс. Базовый и углубленный уровни.
Assignments for submission for preparation for the basic state examination (exam in the 9th class) are the essential part of the textbook “The German language. 6th Class” of the series of “Wunderkind”. The textbook is devoted to pupils who learn the German language as the first foreign language beginning from the 2nd class and are getting prepared for the intermediate and final control in the format of the basic state examination. There are 8 tests to check the level of training of pupils upon completion of every chapter. All tests are presented in two variants. The textbook can be used both in class and for self-preparation of pupils.
Institutions affect investment decisions, including investments in human capital. Hence institutions are relevant for the allocation of talent. Good market-supporting institutions attract talent to productive value-creating activities, whereas poor ones raise the appeal of rent-seeking. We propose a theoretical model that predicts that more talented individuals are particularly sensitive in their career choices to the quality of institutions, and test these predictions on a sample of around 95 countries of the world. We find a strong positive association between the quality of institutions and graduation of college and university students in science, and an even stronger negative correlation with graduation in law. Our findings are robust to various specifications of empirical models, including smaller samples of former colonies and transition countries. The quality of human capital makes the distinction between educational choices under strong and weak institutions particularly sharp. We show that the allocation of talent is an important link between institutions and growth.
