Abstract A continuum of ages exists at school entry due to the use of a single school cutoff
date—making the “oldest” children approximately 20 percent older than the “youngest”
children. We provide substantial evidence that these initial maturity differences have long- ...

Abstract It is well documented that immigrants are in better health upon arrival in the United
States than their American counterparts but that this health advantage erodes over time. We
study the potential determinants of this “healthy immigrant effect,” with a particular focus ...

Abstract There is longstanding evidence that youths raised by single parents are more likely
to perform poorly in school and partake in “deviant” behaviors such as smoking, sex,

Most studies of the deterrence effect of incarceration treat a year in prison as having the
