How Large are Human Capital Externalities? Evidence from Compulsory Schooling Laws

Notes: The following programs create the estimates reported in two tables. Estimates other than those in the appendix were constructed similarly using the same data (three.rar). Coding and documentation for compulsory attendance laws are in a separate archive.

Note also that the compulsory attendance (CA) first stage is mislabeled in Tables 4 and 5.  The effects reported in the tables are for CA9, CA10, and CA11.  (Thanks to Steve Pischke for pointing this out.)

Programs: Click the links below to download program files:

• AceAng2000_Table5.sas creates Table 5 in the paper
• table6_0.sas creates Table 6 in the paper

Data: Click the links below to download data:

• CompSchoolLaws.rar contains data and documentation on compulsory attendance laws by state. CSLDOCs.txt explains the contents of the two data files
• three.rar is the micro data set used by the programs posted above. This is a large file
• average4.sas7bdat has the average schooling data used by table6_0.sas; average4.dta is a stata version
• moulton3.sas clusters standard errors (a legacy program, to be sure, but you gotta use this one to get our exact numbers)
