On the Production of Skills and the Birth-Order Effect Journal of Human Resources 51,3 (1 August 2016): 699-726. Also: http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/51/3/699.abstract Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79, NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press Keyword(s): Birth Order; Cognitive Ability; Parental Investments; Siblings First-born children tend to outperform their younger siblings on measures such as cognitive exams, wages, educational attainment, and employment. Using a framework similar to Cunha and Heckman (2008) and Cunha, Heckman, and Schennach (2010), this paper finds that differences in parents' investments across siblings can account for more than one-half of the gap in cognitive skills among siblings. The study's framework accommodates for endogeneity in parents' investments, measurement error, missing observations, and dynamic impacts of parental investments. |
