Transition to motherhood : the role of health

Simankova, Irina; Tauchmann, Harald - 2024

The age at which women become mothers for the first time is ever increasing in many industrialized countries. Therefore, fertility determinants that might deteriorate with age, such as health, and their effect on reproductive patterns, should be given more attention. We explore the effect of the...

The returns to education in Arkansas : evidence from the 1987 compulsory education law

Patrinos, Harry Anthony; Rivera-Olvera, Angelica - 2026

This paper estimates the returns to education in Arkansas-one of the last states to extend compulsory schooling-using ACS 2023 data and the 1987 Compulsory Schooling Law (CSL) reform as an instrument. OLS estimates imply returns of 9.5-10.4 percent per year of schooling. The CSL reform increased...

DAG-based local projections

Raunig, Burkhard - 2026

Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) provide a transparent framework for encoding causal structures and identifying causal effects. This paper demonstrates how DAGs help specify local projections (LPs) for estimating causal impulse responses. Examples illustrate how graphical rules can be used to...

Review of proxy vector autoregressive analysis

Bruns, Martin; Lütkepohl, Helmut - 2026 - This version: January 30, 2026

In structural vector autoregressive analysis it has become quite popular to identify some structural shocks of interest by external instruments or proxies. This study points out a range of areas where such proxies have been used and sketches the way the proxies have been constructed. It reviews...

Multiple monetary policy shocks from daily data : a heteroskedasticity IV approach

Burri, Marc; Kaufmann, Daniel - 2026

We extend the heteroskedasticity IV estimator of Rigobon and Sack (2004) from one to multiple monetary policy shocks by imposing recursive zero restrictions on the impact matrix. Unlike high-frequency identification, the approach requires neither intraday tick data nor precise announcement...

The new testable equalities can detect all possible observable violations of the identifying conditions. The...

Harnessing genetic variants for local average treatment effect estimation

When multiple instruments are available, conventional instrumental variable estimators aggregate across potentially heterogeneous margins of compliance and may yield effects that lack a clear economic interpretation. The problem is compounded when some instruments violate the exclusion...

Instrumental-variable poisson PML with high-dimensional fixed effects

We implement an instrumental-variable Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator with high-dimensional fixed effects (IV-PPML-HDFE). To correct for incidental parameter bias, we use a split-panel jackknife (SPJ) routine with bootstrapped standard errors. Monte Carlo simulations across the three...

Assessment of the impact of financial literacy on inflation expectations based on pseudo-panel data for Russia
