Maybe Next Month? Temperature Shocks and Dynamic Adjustments in Birth Rates
We estimate the effects of temperature shocks on birth rates in the United States between 1931 and 2010. We find that days with a mean temperature above 80°F cause a large decline in birth rates 8 to 10 months later. Unlike prior studies, we demonstrate that the initial decline is followed by a partial rebound in births over the next few months, implying that populations mitigate some of the fertility cost by shifting conception month. This shift…
Worth the Wait? The Effect of Early Term Birth on Maternal and Infant Health
Early term birth is defined as birth at 37 or 38 weeks gestation. While infants born early term are not considered premature, the medical literature suggests that they have an increased risk of serious adverse health outcomes compared to infants born at term (39 or 40 weeks). Despite these known harms, we document a rise in early term births in the United States from 1989 to the mid-2000s, followed by a decline in recent years. We posit that the …

Further Evidence on the Internal Validity of the Early Legal Access Research Design
Randomized controlled experiments are the gold standard of causal analysis, but they are unavailable to answer many questions of policy interest. Access to the Pill or abortion, for instance, was never explicitly randomly assigned, so quasi-experiments provide an important path for understanding their effects

Saving Babies? Revisiting the effect of very low birth weight classification
We reconsider the effect of very low birth weight classification on infant mortality. We demonstrate that the estimates are highly sensitive to the exclusion of observations in the immediate vicinity of the 1,500-g threshold, weakening the confidence in the results originally reported in Almond, Doyle, Kowalski, and Williams (2010).
Fertility effects of abortion and birth control pill access for minors
This article empirically assesses whether age-restricted access to abortion and the birth control pill influence minors’ fertility in the United States. There is not a strong consensus in previous literature regarding the relationship between laws restricting minors’ access to abortion and minors’ birthrates. This is the first study to recognize that state laws in place prior to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision enabled minors to legally consent to s…
