Fathers’ Multiple-Partner Fertility and Children’s Educational Outcomes
Posted: 1/4/2020 (CSDE Seminar Series)
This Friday, Robert Pollak from the Department of Economics at Washington University in St. Louis will present his paper Fathers’ Multiple-Partner Fertility and Children’s Educational Outcomes. In the paper, Pollak and his co-authors find substantial and statistically significant detrimental effects of fathers’ multiple-partner fertility (MPF) on children’s educational outcomes. Pollak’s analysis suggests that the effects of fathers’ MPF are primarily due to selection and emphasizes the importance of unobserved parental characteristics as determinants of children’s educational outcomes.
