Improved jive estimators for overidentified linear models with and without heteroskedasticity
Ackerberg, Daniel A.; Devereux, Paul J. - 2008
We introduce two simple new variants of the Jackknife Instrumental Variables (JIVE) estimator for overidentified linear models and show that they are superior to the existing JIVE estimator, significantly improving on its small sample bias properties. We also compare our new estimators to...

Does Grief Transfer across Generations? In-Utero Deaths and Child Outcomes
Black, Sandra E.; Devereux, Paul J.; Salvanes, Kjell G. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014
While much is now known about the effects of physical health shocks to pregnant women on the outcomes of the in-utero child, we know little about the effects of psychological stresses. One clear form of stress to the mother comes from the death of a parent. We examine the effects of the death of...

Why the Apple Doesn’t Fall Far: Understanding Intergenerational Transmission of Human Capital
Black, Sandra E.; Devereux, Paul J.; Salvanes, Kjell G. - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2003
Parents with higher education levels have children with higher education levels. However, is this because parental … education actually changes the outcomes of children, suggesting an important spillover of education policies, or is it merely … that more able individuals who have higher education also have more able children? This paper proposes to answer this …
