Estimating returns to education using different natural experiment techniques (2008, background): “Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (2004) used the effect of World War II on various cohorts of German students.”
COVID-19 learning losses: early grade reading in South Africa (2021, background): “…and South Africa (Wills 2020); shortened school years in Germany (Cygan-Rehm 2018 and Hampf 2019), children who missed school during World War II (Ichino and Winter-Ebmer 2004) the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan (Andrabi et al 2020), the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic in West Africa (Bandiera et al 2020…”
Econometric methods for causal evaluation of education policies and practices: a non‐technical guide (2011, background): “Ichino and Winter‐Ebmer ( 2004 ) use variation in school attainment caused by World War II as their source of identification of labor market returns to schooling.”
A Likelihood-Based Analysis for Relaxing the Exclusion Restriction in Randomized Experiments with Imperfect Compliance (2013, background): “This microeconomic context has been suggested by a recent paper from Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (2004). Directions for future research can be suggested for some of the questions examined in this paper.”
Three measures of returns to education: An illustration for the case of Spain (2008, methodology): “In this paper we have used as an instrument the variable WAR reflecting if the individual’s education was affected by the Spanish Civil War(11), on the lines of Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (1999) and (2004), whose instruments are based on whether the individual’s education was affected by the Second Wor”
Efficient Estimation of Average Treatment Effects with Mixed Categorical and Continuous Data (2009, background): “Assessing human-capital losses arising from war (Ichino and Winter-Ebmer 1998) and the effectiveness of job training programs (Lechner 1999) are but two examples of the wide range of potential applications.”
Earnings Returns to the British Education Expansion. (2011, background): “As we discuss further below, Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (2004) use cohort-level variation in educational attainment in Germany and Austria that resulted from World War II to assess the effect of education on later outcomes.”
Forced Migration and Human Capital: Evidence from Post-WWII Population Transfers (2018, unknown): “At the end of WWII, an estimated 2.5-3.4 million Germans (who had not fled as the Red Army was advanced), and 1 million Poles were still located in the Western Territories (Dziewanowski, 1977).”
Children of War (2009, unknown): “In contrast, the other studies (Akresh and de Walque, 2008; Shemyakina, 2006 and Ichino and Winter-Ebmer, 2004) use a measure of exposure to war that has limited spatial variation (only across countries, or across a few 3 As explained in section 4, I will use individuals born between 1951 and 1960…”
Zero Returns to Compulsory Schooling in Germany: Evidence and Interpretation (2008, unknown): “The existing IV studies by Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (1999, 2004) and by Becker and Siebern-Thomas (2001) focus on the differences between the various secondary tracks.”
The Returns to Education: Microeconomics (2003, background): “However older cohorts may be different in other ways — in particular the education level of the pre-1933 cohort may have been affected by World War II (see also, for example, Ichino and Winter-Ebmer, 2000).”
War and poverty (2010, unknown): “Similar results are found in Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (2004), who compare the relationship between school attainment levels and later life earnings amongst cohorts affected by bombings in Austria and Germany during the Second World War, with those less affected by the war in Switzerland and Sweden.”
Returns to apprenticeship training in Austria: evidence from failed firms (2008, unknown): “The same is true for IV studies of the returns to schooling in Germany by Ichino and Winter-Ebmer (1999, 2004) and Becker and SiebernThomas (2004).”
Learning loss due to school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic (2021, unknown): “Studies of school days lost due to other causes are mixed—some ﬁnd durable effects and spillovers to adult earnings (59, 60), while others report a fadeout of effects over time (61, 62).”
