EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF NEIGHBORHOOD EFFECTS ON YOUTH (2004, background): “Let Z, with coefficient π1, Gould et al (2004) who study peer effects in educational settings; and Duflo and Saez (2003) who study how information provision alters the behavior of coworkers who were not given the information.”
Immigrants' Effect on Native Workers: New Analysis on Longitudinal Data (2016, background): “This paper makes significant progress on both fronts by improving on identification and by following in the short and long run individual responses to immigrants, and by comparing these findings with average area effects.”
Crime and Immigration: Evidence from Large Immigrant Waves (2013, unknown): “…countries has generally addressed this identification issue by either devising suitable instruments (Card, 2001) or by exploiting some natural experiment where immigrants where forcibly allocated to areas they had not chosen (Edin et al., 2003; Gould et al., 2004; Glitz, 2006; Damm, 2009).”
The Long-Term Effects of Early Track Choice (2017, unknown): “However, once 2Other studies which exploit quasi-random variation to investigate the short-term e¤ects of school quality on student achievement include Gould, Lavy, and Paserman (2004) and Cullen, Jakob and Levitt (2005, 2006).”
Close Neighbours Matter: Neighbourhood Effects on Early Performance at School (2006, unknown): “…through exploiting either random variation in the peer group composition over time or random assignment of peers to individual students (Gibbons and Telhaj, 2005; Gould et al., 2004; Hanushek et al., 2003; Kremer and Levy, 2003; Ammermüller and Pischke, 2006; Sacerdote, 2001; Zimmerman, 2003).”
Dropping Out: Why are Students Leaving Junior High in China's Poor Rural Areas? (2012, background): “Parents often perceive low returns to educational investment, due in part to the poor quality of local teachers and school facilities (Banerjee et al., 2000; Glewwe and Kremer, 2006; Gould et al., 2004; Hanushek et al., 2008; Rivkin et al., 2005).”
Do Neighborhoods Affect Hours Worked? Evidence from Longitudinal Data (2004, background): “Gould, Lavy, and Paserman (2004) use randomness in the assignment of Ethiopian immigrants to Israel.”
The Labor Market Impact of Immigration: A Quasi-Experiment Exploiting Immigrant Location Rules in Germany (2012, background): “Edin et al. (2003), Piil Damm (2009) and Gould et al. (2004) are further studies that are related to my analysis, insofar as they use spatial dispersal policies for refugee immigrants in Sweden, Denmark and Israel, respectively, as a source of exogenous initial regional allocations of immigrants.”
