Spillover Effects of Maternal Education on Child's Health and Health Behavior

Kemptner, Daniel; Marcus, Jan - In: Review of Economics of the Household 11 (2013) 1, pp. 29-54

This study investigates the effects of maternal education on child's health and health behavior. We draw on a rich German panel data set containing information about three generations. This allows instrumenting maternal education by the number of her siblings while conditioning on grandparental...

Does Retirement Kill You? Evidence from Early Retirement Windows

Coe, N.B.; Lindeboom, M. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 2008

The effect that health has on the retirement decision has long been studied. We examine the reverse relationship …, whether retirement has a direct impact on later-life health. To identify the causal relationship, we use early retirement … window offers to instrument for retirement. We find no negative effects of early retirement on men’s health, and if anything …

Estimating causal effects with observational data guidelines for agricultural and applied economists

Henningsen, Arne; Low, Guy; Wuepper, David; Dalhaus, Tobias - 2024

Most research questions in agricultural and applied economics are of a causal nature, i.e., how one or more variables (e.g., policies, prices, the weather) affect one or more other variables (e.g., the welfare of individuals or the society, the demanded or produced quantity, pollution). Only a...

The identification power of smoothness assumptions in models with counterfactual outcomes

Kim, Wooyoung; Kwon, Koohyun; Kwon, Soonwoo; Lee, Sokbae - 2014

In this paper, we investigate what can be learned about average counterfactual outcomes when it is assumed that treatment response functions are smooth. The smoothness conditions in this paper amount to assuming that the differences in average counterfactual outcomes are bounded under different...

Generalized instrumental variable models

Chesher, Andrew; Rosen, Adam M. - 2014

The ability to allow for flexible forms of unobserved heterogeneity is an essential ingredient in modern microeconometrics. In this paper we extend the application of instrumental variable (IV) methods to a wide class of problems in which multiple values of unobservable variables can be...

Instrumental variables estimation of a generalized correlated random coefficients model

Masten, Matthew; Torgovitsky, Alexander - 2014

We study identification and estimation of the average treatment effect in a correlated random coefficients model that allows for first stage heterogeneity and binary instruments. The model also allows for multiple endogenous variables and interactions between endogenous variables and covariates....

Testing the internal validity of compulsory school reforms as instrument for years of schooling

Brunello, Giorgio; Fort, Margherita; Weber, Guglielmo; … - 2013

In the large empirical literature that investigates the causal effects of education on outcomes such as health, wages and crime, it is customary to measure education with years of schooling, and to identify these effects using the exogenous variation provided by school reforms increasing...
