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 …

Does homeownership promote wealth accumulation?
Kaas, Leo; Kocharkov, Georgi; Preugschat, Edgar - 2016
It is well known that homeowners are richer than renters, even after controlling for observable characteristics. This is often used as an argument for policies that foster homeownership. However, the causal link between homeownership and wealth is difficult to establish due to many potential...

Characterizations of identified sets delivered by structural econometric models
Chesher, Andrew; Rosen, Adam M. - 2015
This paper develops characterizations of identified sets of structures and structural features for complete and incomplete models involving continuous and/or discrete variables. Multiple values of unobserved variables can be associated with particular combinations of observed variables. This can...

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....

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...

Rainy day politics : an instrumental variables approach to the effect of parties on political outcomes
Lind, Jo Thori - 2014
Rain affects electoral turnout both through a direct effect on the cost of voting and by changing the opportunity cost. In a panel of Norwegian municipalities I find that rain on Election Day increases turnout. As turnout affects electoral outcomes, rain provides an exogeneous source of...

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...
