The Effect of Birth Weight on Academic Performance: Instrumental Variable Analysis.

American journal of epidemiology - 1 May 2017

Lin Shi Lin, Leung Gabriel Matthew, Schooling C Mary

Abstract excerpt

Observationally, lower birth weight is usually associated with poorer academic performance; whether this association is causal or the result of confounding is unknown. To investigate this question, we obtained an effect estimate, which can have a causal interpretation under specific assumptions, of birth weight on educational attainment using instrumental variable analysis based on single nucleotide polymorphisms...
