Cognitive Abilities and Household Financial Decision Making (2013, methodology): “We use the Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) which combines two of the math scores with two of the verbal scores.3 In addition to test scores, we have data on sex, age, education, service branch, race, ethnicity, marital status, and zip code of residence.”
The Changing Roles of Education and Ability in Wage Determination (2014, background): “Some studies suggest that human capital investments affect AFQT scores which may constrain the identification of education and ability effects on earnings, see for example Neal and Johnson (1996) or Cascio and Lewis (2006).”
The Benefits of Delayed Primary School Enrollment (2012, background): “Empirical research in the United States, for example, shows that individuals born after enrollment cutoffs—who are obliged to enroll in school at older ages—acquire less schooling on average (Angrist and Krueger 1991; Cascio and Lewis 2006; McCrary and Royer 2006).”
The Long-Run Effects of Teacher Strikes: Evidence from Argentina (2017, background): “Theoretical as well as empirical research provide clear predictions that reduced instructional time lowers academic achievement (Cahan and Cohen 1989; Neal and Johnson 1996; Lee and Barro 2001; Gormley and Gayer 2005; Cascio and Lewis 2006; Luyten 2006; Pischke 2007; Marcotte 2007; Sims 2008; Marcot”
A Nonparametric Analysis of Black-White Differences in Intergenerational Income Mobility in the United States (2010, unknown): “The key step is showing that the functional  7→  ( ) is smooth in the Hadamard sense, 11One can move from (9) to (4) using simple subtractions.”
Smart Money? The Effect of Education on Financial Outcomes (2014, background): “…and shared environment play a significant role in explaining variation in measured cognitive ability.38 The importance of family background 36 Cascio and Lewis (2006) use variation in schooling generated by school entrance cutoff dates to show that teenagers with an additional year of high…”
What a difference a day makes: Estimating daily learning gains during kindergarten and first grade using a natural experiment (2011, background): “Finally, there is a strand of literature using the variation in age and amount of schooling based on eligibility cutoff dates (e.g. Cahan and Davis, 1987; Cahan and Cohen, 1989; Luyten, 2006, Neal and Johnson, 1996; Gormley and Gayer, 2005; Cascio and Lewis, 2006).”
