Household Choices and Child Development (2010, background): “This approach is related to the work of Bernal (2008).”
The Economics of Human Development and Social Mobility (2014, neutral): “If some part of a family income change is due to changes in labor supply, this will have implications for child development (see, e.g., Bernal, 2008; Bernal and Keane, 2010, 2011; Del Boca et al., 2012; Gayle et al., 2013).”
A Matter of Time: Father Involvement and Child Cognitive Outcomes (2018, methodology): “This contrasts with previous research relying on coarse proxy measures for parental time investments, such as employment hours (Bernal, 2008), or considering certain types of time in isolation, such as educational or recreational time (Del Bono et al., 2016).”
Early Maternal Time Investment and Early Child Outcomes (2016, background): “These findings are in line with much of the evidence discussed in Blau and Currie (2006) and with the more recent results by Bernal (2008) and Bernal and Keane (2010), according to which the effect of non-parental child care is generally insignificant, and sometimes wrong-signed, in the sense that…”
The Structural Estimation of Behavioral Models: Discrete Choice Dynamic Programming Methods and Applications (2011, methodology): “As in Bernal (2008), they use the NLSY-Children data and measure cognitive skills by math and reading scores.”
Quasi-structural estimation of a model of childcare choices and child cognitive ability production (2010, methodology): “Bernal (2007) relied on very different exclusion restrictions from those used here.”
Structural vs. atheoretic approaches to econometrics (2010, methodology): “Aside from these types of assumptions, which are fairly generic to dynamic structural estimation exercises, Bernal (2008) makes two special assumptions that have been especially controversial: (a) Mothers know their child’s cognitive ability endowment ω̂i.”
The Quantitative Role of Child Care for Female Labor Force Participation and Fertility (2016, background): “Bernal (2008). Hotz and Miller (1988) assume that mothers incur a time cost of having children that declines geometrically with the age of the children to capture that children of different ages have different needs.”
Child Care Choices and Children’s Cognitive Achievement: The Case of Single Mothers (2011, neutral): “507”
Divorce Risk, Wages and Working Wives: A Quantitative Life‐Cycle Analysis of Female Labour Force Participation (2014, neutral): “See, for example, Bernal (2008) and Bernal and Keane (2011) for some evidence regarding the effect of a mother’s working on a child’s development.”
The Duration of Paid Parental Leave and Children's Scholastic Performance (2010, neutral): “Han et al (2001), Baum (2002), Waldfogel et al (2002), Chase-Landsdale et al (2003), Ruhm (2004), Liu et al (2007), and Bernal (2008) .”
A Flying Start? Maternity Leave Benefits and Long-Run Outcomes of Children (2015, neutral): “Empirically, this is a notoriously difficult problem, as emphasized (for example) by Bernal (2008) and Dustmann and Schönberg (2008) since mothers who spend more time with their children after birth may have many unobservable attributes that affect child development (or they use child care…”
Culture as Learning: The Evolution of Female Labor Force Participation Over a Century (2013, neutral): “type lj is indi¤erent between working and not, i.e., p�j�L + (1 p � j)�H = W(wht;wft) lj ( 10 )”
Maternity leave and children’s cognitive and behavioral development (2014, neutral): “Bernal and Keane (2011) note that few empirical investigations of the relationship of current developmental outcomes to past environments consider the cumulative impact of past developmental inputs.”
