The Distributive Effects of Administrative Burdens on Decision-Making
Administrative burdens may discourage people, especially vulnerable groups, from acting in their own best interest. Most survey experiments focus on attitudes around burdens, while case studies and field interventions analyse specific groups or policy contexts. We test the distributive effects of administrative burdens on decision-making, using a pre-registered survey experiment with a diverse UK sample (n = 2,243). Participants are shown two sce…
Everyday administrative burdens and inequality
Administrative burdens create costly experiences for citizens, especially disadvantaged groups. Research to date focuses on how burdens affect outcomes in specific policy contexts, thus little is known about cumulative experiences of burdens in everyday life and their distribution in society. This is the first study to document everyday administrative experiences, accounting for time and well‐being costs across 10 domains: tax, retirement, govern…

The Impact of Terrorism on Individual Well-Being
A growing literature has concluded that terrorism affects the economy, yet less is known about its impact on individual welfare. This article estimates the impact of the 2013 Boston marathon bombing on well-being, exploiting representative daily data from the American Time Use Survey and Well-Being Supplement. Using a combined regression discontinuity and differences-in-differences design, with the 2012 Boston marathon as a counterfactual, we fin…
The First 2,000 Days and Child Skills
Using a randomized experiment, this study investigates the impact of sustained investment in parenting, from pregnancy until age 5, in the context of extensive welfare provision. Providing the Preparing for Life program, incorporating home visiting, group parenting, and baby massage, to disadvantaged Irish families raised children's cognitive and socioemotional/behavioral scores by two-thirds and one-quarter of a standard deviation, respectively.…
Maternal employment and childcare during infancy and childhood overweight
Be good, know the rules
Despite the importance of self-regulation for school readiness and success across the lifespan, little is known about children's conceptions of this important ability. Using mixed-method interviews, this research examined kindergarten children's (n = 57) perspectives on self-regulation in a disadvantaged area in Dublin, Ireland. Children depicted school as requiring regulation of their emotional, cognitive and behavioural responses. They characte…
Effects of early intervention on dietary intake and its mediating role on cognitive functioning
Objective To investigate the impact of an early intervention programme, Preparing for Life, on dietary intake between 12 and 36 months of age, and the mediating role played by diet on cognitive functioning. Design A randomised controlled trial evaluation of a community-based home visiting programme. The intervention involved biweekly visits from mentors from pregnancy until age 5 years and parent training at age 2 years. Dietary intake was assess…
Early intervention and child physical health
Maternal Engagement in a Home Visiting Intervention
This study examined the factors influencing participant engagement in a home visiting program. Specifically, it explored the relationship between dosage and the constituent components of psychological resources: mental health, mastery, and cognitive resources. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted utilising implementation data from a sample (n = 95) of participants in an Irish home visiting program. Psychological resources significan…
The challenges of contamination in evaluations of childhood interventions
Contamination in social programmes occurs when the control group either actively or passively receive some or all of the intervention intended for the treatment group. While contamination is considered a potential threat to the internal validity of an evaluation, there is relatively little evidence on the magnitude and prevalence of contamination in social programmes and the extent to which it can bias the estimates of programme effectiveness. Th…

Does Voting History Matter? Analysing Persistence in Turnout
Individuals who vote in one election are more likely to vote in the next. Yet modelling the causal relationship between past and current voting decisions is intrinsically difficult, as this positive association can exist due to habit formation or unobserved heterogeneity. This article overcomes this problem using longitudinal data from the British National Child Development Study (NCDS) to examine voter turnout across three elections. It distingu…
Political Interest, Cognitive Ability and Personality
This article uses longitudinal data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS) to investigate the determinants of voter turnout in the 1997 British general election. It introduces measures of cognitive ability and personality into the participation literature and finds that they are significant determinants of turnout. It also shows that standard turnout models may be biased by the inclusion of the much used ‘interest in politics’ measure. …
