Women's Education: Harbinger of Another Spring? Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Turkey (2014, background): “Despite its growing economic and geopolitical influence, the position of women in Turkey continues to be defined along traditional lines: In 2010, only 27% of women (versus 47% of men) had a secondary or higher education and a mere 24% worked for wages (versus 70% men) – a proportion that declined…”
Education and Nonmarket Outcomes (2005, background): “Behrman and Rosenzweig (2002) examine the extent to which these results are due to omitted third variables by examining differences in years of formal schooling completed by the offspring of 424 female and 244 male identical (monozygotic) twins in the Minnesota Twin Registry.”
Inequality of Opportunity in Brazil (2007, positive): “They may include intergenerationally correlated ability, as suggested by Behrman and Rosenzweig (2002).”
Computers and Student Learning: Bivariate and Multivariate Evidence on the Availability and Use of Computers at Home and at School (2004, background): “This may be the case because of heritability or because parents with more educated backgrounds provide more inputs for their children’s learning in terms of home instruction, motivation, educational resources and so on (cf.

The Effect of Sibship Size on Educational Attainment in China: Period Variations (2008, background): “…Cleland and Rodriguez 1988) and offspring’s education (Ganzeboom and Treiman 1993; Shavit and Blossfeld 1993; Treiman and Yip 1989), although some recent studies suggest weak or nonexistent effects after controlling for unobserved heterogeneity (Behrman and Rosenzweig 2002; Black et al. 2005b).”
Cheap Children and the Persistence of Poverty (2001, positive): “Behrman and Rosenzweig (2002), however, find a marginally negative rather than a significantly positive coefficient for mother’s schooling in the determination of child schooling once ability is controlled.”
