Parental Education and Child's Education: A Natural Experiment (2004, background): “Sacerdote (2002) and Plug (2004) compare adopted and natural children to estimate the causal effect of parental education.”
Heterogeneity in the intergenerational transmission of educational attainment: evidence from Switzerland on natives and second-generation immigrants (2007, background): “While studies such as Plug (2004) or Bjorklund et al. (2004) focus on the genetic and behavioral effects, we take these parental effects as given and instead investigate the relevance of environmental factors for intergenerational educational mobility.”
Sensitivity Analysis in Semiparametric Likelihood Models (2011, methodology): “De Haan and Plug (2011) and Plug (2004) exploit this unique feature of the WLS to evaluate the effectiveness of various approaches for censored data by comparing these approaches applied to the 1992 data to the estimates from the uncensored 2004 data.”
Would Equal Opportunity Mean More Mobility (2005, positive): “When Plug (2004) regressed these children’s educational attainment on their parents’ attainment, the bivariate coefficients for mothers and fathers averaged 0.46 for the 15,871 biological children and 0.27 in for the 610 adopted children.”
Education Gender Gaps in Pakistan: Is the Labor Market to Blame? (2009, background): “However, a number of recent studies call into question the assumption of no intergenerational transmission of ability (see Behrman and Rosenzweig 2002, 2005; Plug and Vijverberg 2003; Plug 2004; Black, Devereux, and Salvanes 2005; Behrman et al. 2006; Björklund, Lindahl, and Plug 2006; De Haan and P”
The impact of parental income and education on the schooling of their children (2005, background): “Alternative strategies to account for the endogeneity of parental education is to account for genetic effects by comparing adopted and natural children (Sacerdote (2004) or Plug (2004)), or the children of twins (Behrman and Rosenzweig (2002).”
Population Policies, Fertility, Women's Human Capital, and Child Quality (2007, positive): “…of child development, potentially associated with unobserved characteristics of the marriage match, 37 genetic ability, transmitted from parent to child genetically as well as through the family’s socioeconomic status and economic wealth and marriage markets (e.g. Scarr, 1978; Plug, 2004).”
Maternal Education, Home Environments and the Development of Children and Adolescents (2007, background): “Plug (2004) ﬁnds weak effects of adoptive mother’s schooling on child’s schooling but large effects of father’s schooling, and Bjoerklund, Lindahl, and Plug (2006) ﬁnd strong effects of both adoptive father and mother’s schooling.”
