SUMMARY:Gary Solon\, University of Michigan\, "What Are We Weighting For?" (STC Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:Biography:\nGary Solon is Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Michigan. He was Eller Professor of Economics at the University of Arizona during 2015-2018 and Professor of Economics at Michigan State University during 2007-2015. He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research\, a fellow of the Society of Labor Economists\, and a member of the Conference on Research in Income and Wealth. His research includes studies of family and community background effects on socioeconomic status\, earnings dynamics over the life cycle\, cyclical fluctuations in the labor market\, and microeconometric methods. \nWhat Are We Weighting For?\nAbstract:\nThe purpose of this paper is to help empirical economists think through when and how to weight the data used in estimation. We start by distinguishing two purposes of estimation: to estimate population descriptive statistics and to estimate causal effects. In the former type of research\, weighting is called for when it is needed to make the analysis sample representative of the target population. In the latter type\, the weighting issue is more nuanced. We discuss three distinct potential motives for weighting when estimating causal effects: (1) to achieve precise estimates by correcting for heteroskedasticity\, (2) to achieve consistent estimates by correcting for endogenous sampling\, and (3) to identify average partial effects in the presence of unmodeled heterogeneity of effects. In each case\, we find that the motive sometimes does not apply in situations where practitioners often assume it does. We recommend diagnostics for assessing the advisability of weighting\, and we suggest methods for appropriate inference.

SUMMARY:Pauline Rossi\, Ecole Polytechnique-CREST\, "Drivers of Fertility: Experimental Evidence from Burkina Faso (joint with Pascaline Dupas\, Seema Jayachandran and Adriana Lleras-Muney)"
DESCRIPTION:Biography:\nPauline Rossi is an Associate Professor of Economics at Ecole Polytechnique-CREST and a Research Affiliate at CEPR. Her fields of research are Applied Microeconomics\, Development Economics and Family Economics. She is the PI of the ERC Starting Grant “Peers and Possible Partners: Exploring the Origins of Population Long-term Equilibria” (P3OPLE). She is visiting CCPR in October-November 2023. \nDrivers of Fertility: Experimental Evidence from Burkina Faso (joint with Pascaline Dupas\, Seema Jayachandran and Adriana Lleras-Muney)\nAbstract:\nWe conducted a study among 14\,545 households in rural Burkina Faso to test some of the leading explanations for persistently high fertility rates in West Africa. First\, we reject the oft-cited explanation of limited access to contraception. Women in communities randomly assigned to have free access to medical contraception for three years did not have lower birth rates. Second\, we cross-randomized additional interventions to test whether high desired fertility stems from incorrect or sticky beliefs and norms\, specifically mis-perceptions about the child mortality rate\, limited exposure to opposing views\, and social pressure. None of these interventions\, or combinations of them\, had any detectable effect on realized fertility\, desired fertility\, or contraceptive use. Our results are consistent with couples personally benefiting from having a large family size and suggest that policies aimed at reducing fertility through family planning interventions may have only limited impact in such contexts.

SUMMARY:Julia Strasser\, George Washington University\, "Who is Providing Contraception & Abortion Care in the US? Using Claims Data to Study the Reproductive Health Workforce"
DESCRIPTION:Biography:\nJulia Strasser\, DrPH\, MPH\, is the Director of the Jacobs Institute of Women’s Health and an Assistant Research Professor of Health Policy and Management at the George Washington University. Dr. Strasser’s research focuses on contraception\, abortion\, and access to care for underserved populations. She has worked in healthcare\, focusing on policy and research\, for over 15 years\, including previous positions at the National Cancer Institute\, the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association\, and Planned Parenthood of Western Washington. She holds a DrPH in Health Policy from The George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health\, an MPH from The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with a concentration in women’s and reproductive health\, and a BA in History from Yale University. \nWho is Providing Contraception & Abortion Care in the US? Using Claims Data to Study the Reproductive Health Workforce\nAbstract:\nThe clinical workforce providing contraception and abortion care in the US is a critical determinant of access to care. However\, a series of data limitations has made it difficult to study this workforce at the national level. Using national-level medical and prescription claims datasets\, we have constructed a first-of-its-kind database and analyzed various aspects of this workforce\, including its composition by specialty\, distribution by state and county\, and shifts over time. This presentation will discuss: 1. Differences in provision of contraceptive services by physician specialty and advanced practice clinician type 2. Changes to the contraception and abortion care workforce during Covid-19\, and 3. Association between residency training for family medicine physicians and provision of reproductive health services to Medicaid beneficiaries. \nA recording of this event can be found here.
