Havnes, Tarjei; Mogstad, Magne - 2009

The strong correlation between child care and maternal employment rates has led previous research to conclude that affordable and readily available child care is a driving force both of cross-country differences in maternal employment and of its rapid growth over the last decades. We analyze the...

How much should we trust linear instrumental variables estimators? An application to family size and children's education

Mogstad, Magne; Wiswall, Matthew - 2009

Many empirical studies specify outcomes as a linear function of endogenous regressors when conducting instrumental variable (IV) estimation. We show that tests for treatment effects, selection bias, and treatment effect heterogeneity are biased if the true relationship is non-linear. These...
