Does Family Income Matter For Schooling Outcomes? Using Adoption As a Natural Experiment
One would expect that family income is an important positive factor in the school attainment of children. However, evidence on this relationship is often tainted by the lack of control for parental ability, since at least a portion of ability is transferred genetically to children.

In this study, phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties of methanol extracts of Spirulina microalgae (Arthrospira platensis) were measured. Methods: Phenolic content was measured by Folin–Ciocalteau method and antioxidant activity was measured by th...
متن کاملDo Oil Producers Extract More as They Become Richer? A Natural Experiment Using Unanticipated Reserve Discoveries
The relationship between oil reserves and oil extraction has recently become of interest to research community. Current empirical literature lacks an identification strategy that addresses endogeneity problem. This study takes advantage of (arguably) exogenous reserves discoveries to identify the effect of size of reserves on oil production. Our findings show that although in general oil produc...
متن کاملParental Education and Child’s Education: A Natural Experiment
Is the intergeneration educational link due to nature or nurture? In order to separate the nature (genetic) and nurture (education) effects, researchers have relied on situations where two individuals are specifically affected by one or the other effects but not both; typically comparing twins’ offspring or natural and adopted children.

متن کاملEstimating returns to education using different natural experiment techniques
How much do returns to education differ across different natural experiment methods? To test this, we estimate the rate of return to schooling in Australia using two different instruments for schooling: month of birth and changes in compulsory schooling laws. With annual pre-tax income as our measure of income, we find that the naı̈ve ordinary least squares (OLS) returns to an additional year of...
