In chapter 2 the propensity score matching methods was used to evaluate the causal association between early teen drinking onset and high school dropout status by region and by gender. Based on the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) data set, the results demonstrate that this causal effect is strong for rural male adolescents. Early drinking onset significantly positively raises their dropout rate by 5 percent. However, the causal effect among other groups is insignificant. Sensitivity analysis shows that the findings are not robust to the unobserved factors. |
