- The Political Economy of Finance (2001, background): “Besley and Case (2000) show how one disregarding policy endogeneity in the context of the policy on workers’ compensation benefits can lead to biased estimates of its effects, and indicate how these biases can be avoided if the policy adoption can be appropriately 22 instrumented for.”
- Scaling Up and Evaluation (2003, background): “Frequently when policy changes are used to identify the effect of a particular policy, the policy change is itself endogenous to the outcomes it tried to affect, which makes identification impossible (see Besley and Case 2000).”

- How Effective Were the Federal Reserve Emergency Liquidity Facilities? Evidence from the Asset‐Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility (2013, background): “41 17 Besley and Case (2000) point out that many policy interventions may be endogenous to economic conditions and may not necessarily be pure experiments.”
