Impacts of a prekindergarten program on children's mathematics, language, literacy, executive function, and emotional skills. (2013, background): “A recent study pooling the Perry, Abecedarian, and Early Training Project data found stronger benefits for girls than boys (Anderson, 2008).”
The effects of license plate-based driving restrictions on air quality: Theory and empirical evidence (2017, methodology): “…no treatment, this means that our results are robust to our tests.25 In order to test the hypotheses of our theory model, and as alternative to the Bonferroni correction to solve the multiple-inference problem, we conduct summary index tests following the procedure described by Anderson (2008).”
Human Capital Development before Age Five. NBER Working Paper No. 15827. (2010, neutral): “Anderson (2008) conducts a re-analysis of the Perry Preschool and Abcedarian data (and a third intervention called the Earkly Training Project) and finds that like MTO public housing experiment, the significant effects of the intervention was largely concentrated among girls.”
Seeing is Believing? Evidence from an Extension Network Experiment (2014, methodology): “31 We also follow Anderson (2008) and address multiple inference in two additional ways (not reported): (1) using a free step-down resampling method to our p-values for familywise error rate, and (2) employing the false discovery rate control methodology proposed by Benjamini and Hochberg (1995).”
Location, search costs and youth unemployment: experimental evidence from transport subsidies (2018, positive): “31To calculate q-values I use the the procedure suggested by Benjamini and Hochberg (1995) and implemented by Anderson (2008) to control the number of false rejections.”
Do Effects of Early Child Care Extend to Age 15 Years? Results From the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (2010, neutral): “Although two recent long-term follow-ups of early educational interventions have reported gender-moderated effects (Anderson, 2008; Belfield et al., 2006), we found no evidence of differential child-care effects as a function of child gender in either cognitive–academic performance or problem…”
When the money runs out: Do cash transfers have sustained effects on human capital accumulation? (2016, positive): “In Appendix Table S12, we present q-values controlling for FDR, as described in Anderson (2008).”
Gaussian approximations and multiplier bootstrap for maxima of sums of high-dimensional random vectors (2012, background): “The latter possibility allows us to cover the case of testing multiple coefficients in multiple regressions, which is often required in empirical studies; see, for example, [2].”
Stand and Deliver: Effects of Boston’s Charter High Schools on College Preparation, Entry, and Choice (2016, positive): “In view of evidence that many educational interventions do not work well for males, this ﬁnding seems noteworthy ð see, e.g., Anderson 2008; Angrist, Lang, and Oreopoulos 2009; Legewie and DiPrete 2012; Deming et al. 2014 Þ .”
Split-Sample Strategies for Avoiding False Discoveries (2017, background): “For example, see Anderson (2008) and Fafchamps and Labonne (2017) for related discussions of these issues and techniques for controlling the type-I error rate.”
