Does additional education affect memory consistently? An analysis of compulsory schooling reforms across Europe and U.S
BACKGROUND: A growing literature suggests that education positively influences cognitive function in later life. However, the magnitude and consistency of this effect across study designs and populations remain open questions. METHODS: This study re-examines results from the quasi-experimental studies of compulsory schooling reforms in Europe and the United States that estimate the causal effect of education on late-life memory performance. We us…
Life Satisfaction Responds to Major Life Events; Affect not so much
This study examines how major life events influence subjective well-being, focusing on differences between life satisfaction and momentary affect. Using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data from a nationally representative panel of adults aged 50 and older, we analyze responses to significant life events, including health issues, financial shocks, and bereavements. Participants reported their wellbeing during baseline “random bursts” and su…
Education, Decision Making, and Economic Rationality
This paper studies the causal effect of education on decision making. In 1972, England raised its minimum school-leaving age from 15 to 16 for students born after September 1, 1957. An online survey was conducted with 2,700 individuals born in a 36-month window on either side of this date. Participants made 25 incentivized risk choices that allow us to measure multiple dimensions of decision making. Despite the policy having effects on education,…
A Cost-Benefit Framework for Analyzing the Economic and Fiscal Impacts of State-Level Immigration Policies
This report uses a cost-benefit framework to classify the potential impacts of specific state-level immigration policies, identifying the potential domains of impact and how different stakeholders in the public and private sectors would be affected; assembles empirical evidence of the expected impacts; and assesses the rigor and relevance of existing studies of the fiscal and economic impacts of specific state-level immigration policy actions
Do Employers Prefer Workers Who Attend For-Profit Colleges? Evidence from a Field Experiment
This paper reports results from a resume-based field experiment designed to examine employer preferences for job applicants who attended for-profit colleges. For-profit colleges have seen sharp increases in enrollment in recent years despite alternatives such as public community colleges being much cheaper. We sent almost 9,000 fictitious resumes of young job applicants who recently completed their schooling to online job postings in six occupati…
