Three Essays Using Natural Experiments to Measure Causal Effects on Education Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Business and Economics, West Virginia University, 2018 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Government Regulation; High School Completion/Graduates Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the second essay, I continue to investigate how bank branching deregulation affects high school graduation. In place of the CPS data, I use National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 data to mitigate both measurement error introduced when identifying treatment and omitted variable bias. I also use the difference-in-discontinuities method, which should improve similarity of unobservable characteristics by finding the local average treatment effect. I again find positive and significant effects of bank branching deregulation on high school graduation. |
