Intergenerational and Intragenerational Externalities of the Perry Preschool Project

Heckman, James J. - 2019

This paper examines the impact of the iconic Perry Preschool Project on the children and siblings of the original … participants. The children of treated participants have fewer school suspensions, higher levels of education and employment, and … lower levels of participation in crime, compared with the children of untreated participants. Impacts are especially …

Estimation of Dynamic Discrete Choice Models by Maximum Likelihood and the Simulated Method of Moments

Eisenhauer, Philipp - 2014

We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of moments (SMM) estimation for dynamic discrete choice models. We construct and estimate a simplified dynamic structural model of education that captures some basic features of educational choices in the United States in...

Returns to Education : The Causal Effects of Education on Earnings, Health and Smoking

Heckman, James J. - 2016

This paper estimates returns to education using a dynamic model of educational choice that synthesizes approaches in the structural dynamic discrete choice literature with approaches used in the reduced form treatment effect literature. It is an empirically robust middle ground between the two...

The Non-Market Benefits of Education and Ability

Heckman, James J. - 2017

This paper analyzes the non-market benefits of education and ability. Using a dynamic model of educational choice we estimate returns to education that account for selection bias and sorting on gains. We investigate a range of non-market outcomes including incarceration, mental health, voter...

Inference with Imperfect Randomization : The Case of the Perry Preschool Program

Heckman, James J. - 2011

This paper considers the problem of making inferences about the effects of a program on multiple outcomes when the assignment of treatment status is imperfectly randomized. By imperfect randomization we mean that treatment status is reassigned after an initial randomization on the basis of...

The Rate of Return to the High/Scope Perry Preschool Program

Heckman, James J. - 2009

This paper estimates the rate of return to the High/Scope Perry Preschool Program, an early intervention program targeted toward disadvantaged African-American youth. Estimates of the rate of return to the Perry program are widely cited to support the claim of substantial economic benefits from...

Testing the Correlated Random Coefficient Model

Heckman, James J. - 2009

The recent literature on instrumental variables (IV) features models in which agents sort into treatment status on the basis of gains from treatment as well as on baseline-pretreatment levels. Components of the gains known to the agents and acted on by them may not be known by the observing...
