Economic Gains From Gender Inclusion; New Mechanisms, New Evidence (2018, background): “Acemoglu, Autor, and Lyle (2004) used the exogenous increase in female labor supply in the United States triggered by male conscription during World WarII and found that the ratio of male wage to female wage increased with conscription, implying an ES of about 3.”
Shocking Labor Supply: A Reassessment of the Role of World War II on U.S. Women's Labor Supply (2013, unknown): “That possibility is supported by a recent fi nding about the impact of the war on women’s employment by Acemoglu, Autor, and Lyle ( 2004 ) —henceforth, AAL—in a paper that clev-erly uses state mobilization rates to identify the impact of the war.”
Inside the War on Poverty: The Impact of Food Stamps on Birth Outcomes (2011, unknown): “…possible differences in trends across counties that are spuriously correlated with the county treatment effect, all of our regressions include interactions of these 1960 pretreatment county characteristics with time trends as in Acemoglu, Autor, and Lyle (2004) and Hoynes and Schanzenbach (2009).”
Trends in Quality-Adjusted Skill Premia in the United States, 1960-2000 (2009, background): “In a different context, Acemoglu et al. (2004) consider the differential extent of mobilization for World War II across U.S. states as a source of plausibly exogenous variation in female labor supply.”
The Effect of Low‐Skilled Immigration on U.S. Prices: Evidence from CPI Data (2008, background): “The instrument is likely to predict new arrivals if: (1) there is a large enough number of immigrants from a country in 1970 to influence the location choices of future immigrants, and (2) there is a steady and homogeneous wave of immigrants after 1970.”
Performance-Based Funding in American Higher Education: A Systematic Synthesis of the Intended and Unintended Consequences (2020, background): “…in medical and public health studies (in which dosage/exposure levels are particularly relevant [e.g., Bor et al., 2018]), in labor economics (e.g., Acemoglu et al., 2004; Card, 1992), and increasingly in education (e.g., Carruthers & Fox, 2016; Domina et al., 2015; Lucas, 2010a; Lucas & Mbiti,…”
MODELING INFORMALITY FORMALLY: HOUSEHOLDS AND FIRMS (2012, unknown): “3 See, for example, Acemoglu et al. (2004) for a study of the impact of large shifts in the participation of women on other related labor market outcome such as the structure of wages.”
Robots and Jobs: Evidence from US Labor Markets (2019, methodology): “All models control for dummies for manufacturing and light manufacturing, and exposure to Chinese imports by industry from Acemoglu et al. (2016). All regressions are weighted by baseline industry employment in 1993.”
Dads and Daughters: The Changing Impact of Fathers on Women's Occupational Choices (2011, background): “2 See, for example, Acemoglu, Autor, and Lyle (2004) and Goldin and Katz (2002). some occupations are likely to be closer substitutes than others (and, in particular, closer substitutes to her father’s occupation).”
