Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
There is a widespread perception that externalities from troubled
children are significant, though measuring them is difficult due
to data and methodological limitations. We estimate the negative
spillovers caused by children from troubled families by exploiting
a unique dataset in which children's school records are matched to
domestic violence cases. We find that children from troubled families
significantly decrease the reading and math test scores of their peers
and increase misbehavior in the classroom. The achievement spillovers
are robust to within-family differences and when controlling
for school-by-year effects, providing strong evidence that neither
selection nor common shocks are driving the results. (JEL D62, I21,
