An instrumental variable estimate of the effect of fertility on the labour force participation of married women (2002, methodology): “ Angrist and Evans (1998) tried to solve the endogeneity problem of child status using the sex composition of children as an IV. Since parents of same-sex siblings are more likely to have an additional child, a dummy variable for whether the sex of the second child matches the sex of the ®rst child”
