The influence of hidden researcher decisions in applied microeconomics (2020, neutral): “Replication studies in economics are relatively rare (Hamermesh, 2017; Berry et al., 2017), and the incentives for performing them are not well-aligned (Duvendack et al., 2017; Gertler et al., 2018; Mueller-Langer et al., 2019). These kinds of replication will also have difficulty in uncovering vari”
Inequality in Preschool Quality? Community-Level Disparities in Access to High-Quality Learning Environments (2016, background): “…as relative care or family child care homes, yield smaller cognitive and social benefits for children than formal arrangements, such as child care centers, Head Start, or preschool programs (Bernal & Keane, 2011; Loeb, Bridges, Bassok, Fuller, & Rumberger, 2007; Magnuson, Ruhm, & Waldfogel, 2007).”

Structural vs. atheoretic approaches to econometrics (2010, background): “Bernal and Keane (2007) argue the existing literature in this area has not come up with any good instruments, and propose that the major changes in welfare rules in the US in the 90s are a good candidate.”
Culture as Learning: The Evolution of Female Labor Force Participation Over a Century (2013, neutral): “19 To obtain ( 8 ) one uses the fact that Pr(sj�) is equal to the probability of observing a signal s generated by a normal distribution N(�;�2 �):”
Educational Gradients in Parents' Child‐Care Time Across Countries, 1965–2012 (2016, positive): “Children benefit from parental interaction, notably in terms of academic achievement (Bernal & Keane, 2011; Hill, Waldfogel, Brooks-Gunn, & Han, 2005), cognition (Lugo-Gil & Tamis-LeMonda, 2008; Tucker-Drob & Harden, 2012), language acquisition (Leibowitz, 1977; Rowe, 2008), and behavior (Laird,…”
