Since prior research finds that school quality gains contributed to increased education levels during this period, causal estimates of the returns to schooling which use schooling laws as instruments but ignore the contemporan...
متن کاملRobust Inference in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs
Fuzzy regression discontinuity (RD) design and instrumental variable(s) (IV) regression share similar identification strategies and numerically yield the same results under certain conditions. While the weak identification problem is widely recognized in IV regressions, it has drawn much less attention in fuzzy RD designs, where the standard t-test can also suffer from asymptotic size distortio...

Causal Returns to Schooling and Individual Heterogeneity E-mail: In this paper, human capital investments are evaluated by assuming heterogeneous returns to schooling. We use the potential outcome approach to measure the causal effect of human capital investments on earnings as a continuous treatment effect. Empirical evidence is based on a sample of West German full-time employed males (BIBB/I...
