The Twin Instrument: Fertility and Human Capital Investment
Bhalotra, Sonia R.; Clarke, Damian - 2018
Twin births are often used to instrument fertility to address (negative) selection of women into fertility. However recent work shows positive selection of women into twin birth. Thus, while OLS estimates will tend to be downward biased, twin-IV estimates will tend to be upward biased. This is...
