On the Effectiveness of Developmental Screenings: Evidence from a Nationwide Program in Austria
Pruckner, Gerald J.; Halla, Martin; Schober, Thomas - 2015
Early intervention is considered as the optimal response to developmental disorders in children. However, relatively little is known about the effectiveness of the standard practice of so-called developmental screenings. We evaluate a nationwide program for preschoolers in Austria....

Birth weight and family status revisited: evidence from Austrian register data
Frimmel, Wolfgang; Pruckner, Gerald J. - 2011
In this paper, we study the socio-economic determinants of birth weight with a focus on the mother's family status. We use Austrian birth register data covering all births between 1984 and 2007 and find that a mother's marriage is associated with a higher birth weight of the newborn in a range...

The Quantity and Quality of Children: A Semi-Parametric Bayesian IV Approach
Frühwirth-Schnatter, Sylvia; Halla, Martin; Posekany, … - 2014
Prior empirical research on the theoretically proposed interaction between the quantity and the quality of children builds on exogenous variation in family size due to twin births and focuses on human capital outcomes. The typical finding can be described as a statistically nonsignificant...

The Cost-Effectiveness of Developmental Screenings: Evidence from a Nationwide Programme
Halla, Martin; Pruckner, Gerald J.; Schober, Thomas - 2015
Early intervention is considered the optimal response to developmental disorders in children. We evaluate a nationwide developmental screening programme for preschoolers in Austria and the resulting interventions. Identification of treatment effects is determined by a birthday cutoff-based...
