Do school meals work?

No: according to a new meta study by Sara Ayllón and Samuel Lad summarizing results from 42 studies.

El nostre investigador Antonio Di Paolo ens ho explica en el seu últim article a 5centims.cat, on resumeix alguns dels treballs presentats al Workshop on Language Economics and Policy, celebrat a la #FEE.
