Estimating the Causal Effects of Parental Input on Children's Later Outcomes in Reading, Math, and Reasoning
We present three papers using inverse probability of treatment weighting to estimate the causal effects of earlier and later parental input on children's later outcomes. This method, adapted for use with continuous predictors, controls for time-invariant confounders (e.g., income) as well as time-varying confounders (i.e., children’s responses to earlier input).
