Effects of Confidential Access to Oral Contraception in Late Adolescence on Work and Earnings
利用各州法律变化的时间差异和调查数据,估计青春期后期秘密获取避孕药对终身收入、劳动参与和人力资本积累的影响,未发现显著效应,这与以往研究结果相反。
This article uses state-specific timing of legal changes and data from the Current Population Survey and National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women to estimate effects of confidential access to the pill in late adolescence on earnings, labor force participation, and human capital accumulation over the life cycle, finding no evidence of effects. These results are contrary to past research, which imposed a restriction on the regression model that this article shows explains the past results.
