Are There Civic Returns to Education (2003, background): “For example, Lleras-Muney (2002) presents a variety of ad hoc empirical evidence on changes in child-labor laws and concludes that they were not endogenously determined.”

Non-Production Benefits of Education: Crime, Health, and Good Citizenship (2011, result): “Other studies reach similar conclusions about the exogenous nature of changes in compulsory schooling laws in other contexts (e.g. Acemoglu and Angrist 2001, Lleras-Muney 2002).”

EDUCATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP SELECTION AND PERFORMANCE: A REVIEW OF THE EMPIRICAL LITERATURE (2008, unknown): “Moreover, the differences in the timing of changes in compulsory schooling laws between regions are exploited as a source of exogenous variation (Acemoglu and Angrist, 2001; Lleras-Muney, 2002; Oreopoulos, 2003, 2005, 2006; Lochner and Moretti, 2004).”
