    Studying maternal education's impact on child health using a natural experiment in Zimbabwe where secondary school access was rapidly expanded in 1980. Maternal education is endogenous, possibly affected by unobserved factors. I have mother birth year, and I need to create three groups: fully exposed, partially exposed, and not exposed to policy, assuming school entry at age 6.

    Define "fully" and "partially" exposed, please. What age cutoffs do we have for fully, partly, and not exposed?

    Comment

      fully exposed means mother who were able to fully take advantage of the policy.

      Not exposed mothers who were not exposed to the policy , like for example if the mother is born in 1950 she is not exposed to the policy,

      partially exposed if you are partly exposed to the policy. like you are born in 1970 at the time of the implement ation of policy you are already would have completed 4 classes assuming 6 year is the school going age.

          I'm still kinda confused. So, 1980 is when the policy begins, right? What is the oldest age you can be, and still be exposed to the policy? Like, we need to have year based cutoffs (in form of inequalities) which define exposure

          Comment


          • #6
            We consider women who were aged 13 and younger in 1980 to have been fully exposed to the policy, women aged 14 and 15 in 1980 to have been partially treated, and women aged 16 or older in 1980 the control group.


            the paper says this but I am confused please

              Alright. When I'm home I'll look at this, if somebody does not beat me to the punch.
