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...

Two-stage instrumental variable estimation of linear panel data models with interactive effects
Cui, Guowei; Norkuté, Milda; Sarafidis, Vasilis; … - 2020
This paper puts forward a new instrumental variables (IV) approach for linear panel datamodels with interactive effects in the error term and regressors. The instruments are transformed regressors and so it is not necessary to search for external instruments. The proposed method asymptotically...
