The Effects of Birth Inputs on Birthweight: Evidence From Quantile Estimation on Panel Data
Abstract
Unobserved heterogeneity among childbearing women makes it difficult to isolate the causal effects of smoking and prenatal care on birth outcomes (such as birthweight). Whether a mother smokes, for instance, is likely to be correlated with unobserved characteristics of the mother. This article controls for such unobserved heterogeneity by using state-level panel data on maternally linked births. A quantile-estimation approach, motivated by a correlated random-effects model, is used to estimate the effects of smoking and other observables (number of prenatal-care visits, years of education, and so on) on the entire birthweight distribution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
