Business incentives -- Early childhood programs -- Conclusion -- 6. Dealing with the known unknowns: how policymakers should deal with dueling estimates from researchers. Sources of uncertainty -- The best response to uncertainty -- Conclusion -- 7. Bringing the future into the present: how policymakers should deal with the delayed benefits of early childhood programs. Discounting -- Reducing short-run costs: postponing costs through borrowing -- Reducing short-run costs: possible offsets from reduced special education costs -- Reducing short-run government costs: financing pre-K out of the K-12 school budget -- Increasing short-run benefits through capitalization -- Increasing short-term benefits: incorporating parental employment programs into early childhood programs -- Conclusion -- 8.
