Causal Effects of Schooling on Memory at Older Ages in Six Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Objectives Higher schooling attainment is associated with better cognitive function at older ages, but it remains unclear whether the relationship is causal. We estimated causal effects of schooling on performances on the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease (CERAD) word-recall (memory) test at older ages in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia, and South Africa. Methods We used harmonized data (n = 30,896) on older adults (≥…
Does Schooling Improve Cognitive Abilities at Older Ages? Causal Evidence From Nonparametric Bounds
We revisit much-investigated relationships between schooling and health, focusing on schooling impacts on cognitive abilities at older ages using the Harmonized Cognition Assessment Protocol in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and a bounding approach that requires relatively weak assumptions. Our estimated upper bounds on the population average effects indicate potentially large causal effects of increasing schooling from primary to secondar…
Por la patria y por la raza. Un estudio sobre la exclusión china de Nacozari de García y Pilares de Nacozari, Sonora, 1915-1925”
Los chinos desde su llegada al estado de Sonora, a finales del siglo xix, fueron recibidos con hostilidad debido al estereotipo negativo generado a su alrededor. La violencia y las medidas legales en su contra tuvieron como causas diferencias culturales, aspectos económicos y un nacionalismo excluyente. El presente artículo analiza el racismo y la xenofobia en contra de la población china radicada en Nacozari de García y Pilares de Nacozari. Para…
Relational‐Cultural Theory–Based Interventions With LGBTQ College Students
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community members can encounter daily challenges living in a heterosexist society, including the college milieu. The authors apply the tenets of relational‐cultural theory (RCT) to LGBTQ college students. Furthermore, a case study is included to highlight ways counselors can infuse RCT strategies when working with this population
Bounds on Average and Quantile Treatment Effects on Duration Outcomes Under Censoring, Selection, and Noncompliance
We consider the problem of assessing the effects of a treatment on duration outcomes using data from a randomized evaluation with noncompliance. For such settings, we derive nonparametric sharp bounds for average and quantile treatment effects addressing three pervasive problems simultaneously: self-selection into the spell of interest, endogenous censoring of the duration outcome, and noncompliance with the assigned treatment. Ignoring any of th…

Bounds on Treatment Effects in the Presence of Sample Selection and Noncompliance
Randomized and natural experiments are commonly used in economics and other social science fields to estimate the effect of programs and interventions. Even when employing experimental data, assessing the impact of a treatment is often complicated by the presence of sample selection (outcomes are only observed for a selected group) and noncompliance (some treatment group individuals do not receive the treatment while some control individuals do).…
Partial Identification of Local Average Treatment Effects With an Invalid Instrument
We derive nonparametric bounds for local average treatment effects (LATE) without imposing the exclusion restriction assumption or requiring an outcome with bounded support. Instead, we employ assumptions requiring weak monotonicity of mean potential and counterfactual outcomes within or across subpopulations defined by the values of the potential treatment status under each value of the instrument. The key element in our derivation is a result r…
Comparing Treatments across Labor Markets
We study the effectiveness of nonexperimental strategies in adjusting for comparison group differences when using data from several programs, each implemented at a different location, to compare their effect if implemented at alternative locations. First, we adjust for individual characteristics differences simultaneously across all groups using unconfoundedness-based and conditional difference-in-difference methods for multiple treatments. Secon…
Estimating the Effects of Length of Exposure to Instruction in a Training Program
We semiparametrically estimate average causal effects of different lengths of exposure to academic and vocational instruction in the Job Corps (JC) under the assumption that selection into different lengths is based on a rich set of observed covariates and time-invariant factors. We find that the estimated effects on future earnings increase in the length of exposure and that the marginal effects of additional instruction decrease with length of …
