Setting a Good Example? Examining Sibling Spillovers in Education Achievement Using a Regression Discontinuity Design

Karbownik, Krzysztof - 2019

We identify externalities in human capital production function arising from sibling spillovers. Using regression discontinuity design generated by school-entry cutoffs and school records from one district in Florida, we find positive spillover effects from an older to a younger child in less...

Early Childcare Duration and Students' Later Outcomes in Europe

Boca, Daniela Del; Monfardini, Chiara; See, Sarah Grace - 2022

The importance of investment in early childhood education (ECE) has been widely documented in the literature. Among the benefits, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, is its potential to mitigate educational inequality. However, some evidence also suggests that the positive...

The effect of compulsory schooling on health: Evidence from biomarkers

Jürges, Hendrik; Kruk, Eberhard; Reinhold, Steffen - 2010

Using data from the Health Survey for England and the English Longitudinal Study on Ageing, we estimate the causal … effect of schooling on health. Identification comes from two nation wide increases in British compulsory school leaving age … exogenous variation in schooling by using biomarkers as measures of health outcomes in addition to self-reported measures. We …

Harding, Matthew - 2018

This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a heterogeneous panel model with lagged dependent variables and interactive effects. The paper adopts the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) approach proposed by Pesaran (2006) and Chudik and Pesaran (2015) and demonstrates that the extension...

Variable Selection and Forecasting in High Dimensional Linear Regressions with Structural Breaks

Chudik, Alexander - 2020

This paper is concerned with problem of variable selection and forecasting in the presence of parameter instability. There are a number of approaches proposed for forecasting in the presence of breaks, including the use of rolling windows or exponential down-weighting. However, these studies...

Limited Self-Knowledge and Survey Response Behavior

Falk, Armin; Neuber, Thomas; Strack, Philipp - 2021

We study response behavior in surveys and show how the explanatory power of self-reports can be improved. First, we develop a choice model of survey response behavior under the assumption that the respondent has imperfect self-knowledge about her individual characteristics. In panel data, the...

Energy Expenditure in Egypt : Empirical Evidence Based on a Quantile Regression Approach

Bélaïd, Fateh; Rault, Christophe - 2021

This paper investigates the key factors affecting household energy expenditure in Egypt. Based upon the latest 2015 Egyptian HIECS Survey, we develop a quantile regression model with an innovative variable selection approach via Adaptive Lasso Regularization technique to untangle the spectrum of...

Identification and Estimation of Categorical Random Coefficient Models

Gao, Zhan; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2022

This paper proposes a linear categorical random coefficient model, in which the random coefficients follow parametric categorical distributions. The distributional parameters are identified based on a linear recurrence structure of moments of the random coefficients. A Generalized Method of...

What Drives Financial Development? A Meta-Regression Analysis

Doucouliagos, Chris - 2020

This paper offers a meta-regression analysis of the literature on the drivers of financial development. Our results based on 1900 estimates suggest that institutional quality is positively correlated to both private sector credit and stock market capitalization (both as share of GDP). Domestic...
