Domain-specific¶
- Endogeneity
- Angrist and Krueger's 1991 study is the canonical remedy
This sourceAngrist and Krueger's quarter-of-birth instrumental-variables study, which estimates the impact of compulsory schooling on earnings using school start-age policy and compulsory attendance laws. Angrist and Krueger report that the instrumental-variables estimate of the return to education using quarter of birth is close to the ordinary least squares estimate, which they read as little bias in conventional estimates.

This sourceThe original use of quarter of birth as an instrument for schooling, working through the interaction of school-entry age rules with compulsory-attendance laws. The quarter-of-birth instrumental-variables design for estimating the return to schooling.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
