We study the effect of the cycle on the health of newborn babies using 30 years of birth-certificate data for Spain. We …, the effect on health is not the result of selection, since the main result survives the inclusion of parents' fixed …-effects. Analysis of National Health Survey data shows that fertility-age women engage in healthier behaviors during recessions (in …

This chapter reviews instrumental variable models of quantile treatment effects. We focus on models that achieve identification through a monotonicity assumption in the treatment choice equation. We discuss the key conditions, the role of control variables as well as the estimands in detail and...

This paper provides an introduction into the estimation of Marginal Treatment Effects (MTE). Compared to the existing surveys on the subject, our paper is less technical and speaks to the applied economist with a solid basic understanding of econometric techniques who would like to use MTE...
