We thank Bill Evans for providing us with the data from Angrist and Evans (1998). Sadly, Bob LaLonde passed away while we were working on a revision of this paper; he will be missed greatly. Simple Tests for Selection: Learning More from Instrumental Variables Abstract We provide simple tests for selection on unobserved variables in the Vytlacil-Imbens-Angrist framework for Local Average Treatment Effects. The tests allow researchers not only to test for selection on either or both of the treated and untreated outcomes, but also to assess the magnitude of the selection effect. The tests are quite simple; undergraduates after an introductory econometrics class should be able to implement these tests. We illustrate our tests with two empirical applications: the impact of children on female labor supply from Angrist and Evans (1998) and the impact of training on adult women from the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) experiment.

  • Returning to Education the Hamilton Project on Human Capital and Wages
    FRAMING PAPER | FEBRUARY 2018 Returning to Education The Hamilton Project on Human Capital and Wages Jay Shambaugh, Lauren Bauer, and Audrey Breitwieser i The Hamilton Project • Brookings MISSION STATEMENT The Hamilton Project seeks to advance America’s promise of opportunity, prosperity, and growth. We believe that today’s increasingly competitive global economy demands public policy ideas commensurate with the challenges of the 21st Century. The Project’s economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth, by enhancing individual economic security, and by embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. Our strategy calls for combining public investment, a secure social safety net, and fiscal discipline. In that framework, the Project puts forward innovative proposals from leading economic thinkers — based on credible evidence and experience, not ideology or doctrine — to introduce new and effective policy options into the national debate. The Project is named after Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury Secretary, who laid the foundation for the modern American economy. Hamilton stood for sound fiscal policy, believed that broad-based opportunity for advancement would drive American economic growth, and recognized that “prudent aids and encouragements on the part of government” are necessary to enhance and guide market forces. The guiding principles of the Project remain consistent with these views. ii The Hamilton Project • Brookings Returning to Education The Hamilton Project on Human Capital and Wages Jay Shambaugh The Hamilton Project, the Brookings Institution, and The George Washington University Lauren Bauer The Brookings Institution Audrey Breitwieser The Hamilton Project FEBRUARY 2018 A CHAPTER IN THE RECENTLY RELEASED HAMILTON PROJECT BOOK 6 × 9 SPINE: 0.4688 FLAPS: 0 SHAMBAUGH SHAMBAUGH ONE SIMPLE QUESTION—ARE WAGES RISING?— is as central to the health of our democracy as it is to the health of our economy.

  • Essays in Honor of Robert J. Lalonde
    Introduction: Essays in Honor of Robert J. LaLonde Orley Ashenfelter, Princeton University Guest Editor David Card, University of California, Berkeley Guest Editor It is our pleasure to introduce this volume of papers, all of which were presented at a conference in honor of Robert LaLonde held in Chicago in the spring of 2015.1 It is conventional for a Festschrift conference (“a gathering of scholars to present papers in honor of a colleague”) to be held on the honoree’s six- tieth birthday or thereabouts. In Bob’s case, it was decided to move things up a little. Diagnosed with what the National Institutes of Health have con- cluded is a unique neurological disease, it was hoped that Bob could both enjoy his colleague’s admiration and participate in the conference to honor him. On both scores, the conference and this set of papers were a remark- able success. Bob earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Chicago, and, apart from a few years in East Lansing, he has spent almost all his academic career there. But there were two important exceptions. In 1987–88, Bob served as a senior staff economist at the president’s Council of Economic Advisors (CEA). Fresh from finishing a pioneering dissertation focused on the quantitative evaluation of employment and training programs, Bob stepped into the Washington debates with just what everyone wanted: a strong case for the value of evidence-based public policy. 1 The conference was held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. We are deeply grateful to Daniel Sullivan and the staff of the Bank for their hospitality and gener- osity.

Introduction In the 20 years since the publication of Imbens and Angrist (1994), applied researchers have embraced the interpretation of Instrumental Variables (IV) estimators, particularly with binary instruments, as measuring the impact of treatment on the subset of respondents who comply with the instrument, which Imbens and Angrist term a Local Average Treatment Effect, or LATE.

Evidence indicates the strong relationship found between level of education and lifetime earnings levels. Labor economists have designed studies and measured educational outcomes to differentiate between earnings associated with innate ability and earnings associated with investments in education. A series of studies to control ability using intrafamily measures, including surveys of fathers, sons, brothers, and twins attending an annual convention of twins, helps to identify the relatively robust finding that returns to education average around 10 percent. Other "natural" experiments using time of year of birth and compulsory school attendance laws and draft lottery numbers from
