Cattan, Sarah; Kamhöfer, Daniel A.; Karlsson, Martin; … - 2021
Despite the relatively uncontested importance of promoting school attendance in the policy arena, little evidence exists on the causal effect of school absence on long-run socio-economic outcomes. We address this question by combining historical and administrative records for cohorts of Swedish...

Quantiles of the gain distribution of an early childhood intervention
Battistin, Erich; Lamarche, Carlos; Rettore, Enrico - 2020
We offer a new strategy to identify the distribution of treatment effects using data from the Infant Health and Development Program (IHDP), a relatively understudied early-childhood intervention for low birth-weight infants. We introduce a new policy parameter, QCD, which denotes quantiles of...

Behavioral responses and welfare reform : evidence from a randomized experiment
Hartley, Robert Paul; Lamarche, Carlos - 2017
Recent studies have used a distributional analysis of welfare reform experiments suggesting that some individuals reduce hours in order to opt into welfare, an example of behavioral-induced participation. Using data on Connecticut's Jobs First experiment, we find no evidence of...
