Family structure and child outcomes in the USA and Sweden (2007, background): “…have used parental death as a quasi-natural experiment to examine the effect of family structure on children's educational outcomes, finding that family structure changes due to parental death have little impact on children's outcomes (Biblarz and Gottainer 2000; Lang and Zagorsky 2001).”
The Feminization of International Migration and its Effects on the Children Left Behind: Evidence from the Philippines (2015, background): “Later work by Lang and Zagorsky (2001) and by Corak (2001) using better data and more rigorous empirical strategies found much smaller negative e¤ects of parental absence (by divorce or death) on children s welfare and economic performance as adults.”
