Effects of school meals on nutrition
The Effect of Labor Market Shocks across the Life Cycle
Economic shocks occur frequently and may cause individuals to reevaluate key life decisions in ways that have lasting consequences for themselves and the broader economy. These decisions are tied to life stages, and the effect of economic shocks may differ depending on when they occur. We exploit exogenous job separations to study the impact of adverse shocks across the life cycle on labor market outcomes and major life decisions: education, mobi…
The Value of a High School GPA
This paper provides novel evidence on the causal effect of high school Grade Point Average (GPA) on the human capital development and labor market trajectory of individuals. Causal identification is achieved by exploiting a unique feature of the Norwegian education system that produces exogenous variation in GPA among high school students. We find little effect on the number of completed years of higher education, but significant effects on the n…
Non‐monetary obstacles to medical care
We use changes to Medicaid immediate postpartum policy to test whether non‐monetary costs are meaningful obstacles to health care. Medicaid in several states currently covers long‐acting reversible contraceptives (LARCs, including IUDs and implants) immediately following delivery of a child, eliminating much of the time‐cost and stress associated with obtaining a LARC. Postpartum LARCs can reduce unintended and short‐interval pregnancies, which a…
Staying out of trouble? Effect of high school career counseling on crime
Human capital-based models of crime imply that increasing educational attainment will decrease crime. A growing body of empirical work has supported this hypothesis, however the evidence is still limited. We investigate if a high school career coaching program, Career Compass of Louisiana, decreases youth crime during and after high school. Career Compass provides students counseling services regarding college admissions, financial aid, and caree…
Can Female Doctors Cure the Gender STEMM Gap? Evidence from Exogenously Assigned General Practitioners
We use exogenously assigned general practitioners to study the effects of female role models on girls' educational outcomes. Girls who are exposed to female general practitioners are more likely to sort into male-dominated education programs in high school, most notably science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM). These effects persist as they enter college and select majors. The effects are larger for high-ability girls w…

The Impact of Information Disclosure on Consumer Behavior
In 2018, the U.S. adopted a nationwide law requiring that chain restaurants post calorie counts on their menus and menu boards. This has led to considerable interest in the extent to which providing calorie information leads consumers to choose healthier diets. To estimate the impact of calorie labeling, we conducted a randomized controlled field experiment in two full‐service restaurants, in which the control group received menus without calorie…
