  • Causal Effects of Schooling on Memory at Older Ages in Six Low- and Middle-Income Countries

    Open AccessVikesh Amin, Jere R Behrman et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2025References: 7

    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 (≥…

  • Bounds on Average and Quantile Treatment Effects on Duration Outcomes Under Censoring, Selection, and Noncompliance

    Germán Blanco, Xuan Chen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2020

    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…

  • Partial Identification of Local Average Treatment Effects With an Invalid Instrument

    Carlos A Flores, Alfonso Flores‐Lagunes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…2013

    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…

  • Estimating the Effects of Length of Exposure to Instruction in a Training Program

    Carlos A Flores, Alfonso Flores‐Lagunes et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2012

    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 …
