The Twin Instrument : Fertility and Human Capital Investment

Bhalotra, Sonia R. - 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...

How Much Should We Trust Linear Instrumental Variables Estimators? An Application to Family Size and Children's Education

Mogstad, Magne - 2009

Many empirical studies specify outcomes as a linear function of endogenous regressors when conducting instrumental variable (IV) estimation. We show that tests for treatment effects, selection bias, and treatment effect heterogeneity are biased if the true relationship is non-linear. These...

IV Quantile Regression for Group-Level Treatments, with an Application to the Effects of Trade on the Distribution of Wages

Chetverikov, Denis - 2013

We present a methodology for estimating the distributional effects of an endogenous treatment that varies at the group level when there are group-level unobservables, a quantile extension of Hausman and Taylor (1981). Standard quantile regression techniques are inconsistent in this setting, even...

Increasing the credibility of the twin birth instrument

Farbmacher, Helmut; Guber, Raphael; Vikström, Johan - 2016

Twin births are an important instrumental variable for the endogenous fertility decision. However, in many economic settings, twins are not exogenous as dizygotic twinning is known to be correlated with maternal characteristics and fertility treatments. Following the medical literature, we...

Estimating Causal Effects of Fertility on Life Course Outcomes : Evidence Using A Dyadic Genetic Instrumental Variable Approach

Zheng, Boyan; Lu, Qiongshi; Fletcher, Jason - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

The causal effects of fertility are a central focus in the social sciences, but the analysis is challenged by the endogeneity of fertility choices. Earlier work has proposed several "natural experiments" from twin births or gender composition of earlier births to assess whether having more...

Dealing with Imperfect Randomization : Inference for the HighScope Perry Preschool Program

Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo; Shaikh, Azeem M. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

This paper considers the problem of making inferences about the effects of a program on multiple outcomes when the assignment of treatment status is imperfectly randomized. By imperfect randomization we mean that treatment status is reassigned after an initial randomization on the basis of...
