title ix and the spatial content of female employment out of the lab and into the labor market
National Bureau of Economic Research, 2016Co-Authors: Michael Baker, Kirsten CornelsonAbstract:Sports participation is a leading Environmental Explanation of the male advantage in some spatial skills. We exploit the large increase in females’ high school sports participation due to Title IX to test this hypothesis. We relate Title IX induced increases in females’ sport participation to the spatial content of their occupational employment as captured by Dictionary of Occupational Titles codes, and a test of three dimensional spatial rotation. We find little evidence that this increase in sports participation had an impact on either of these measures.

revisiting the association between reading achievement and antisocial behavior new evidence of an Environmental Explanation from a twin study
Child Development, 2006Co-Authors: Kali H Trzesniewski, Terrie E Moffitt, Alan Taylor, Avshalom Caspi, Barbara MaughanAbstract:: Previous studies have reported, but not explained, the reason for a robust association between reading achievement and antisocial behavior. This association was investigated using the Environmental Risk (E-Risk) Longitudinal Twin Study, a nationally representative 1994-1995 birth cohort of 5- and 7-year-olds. Results showed that the association resulted primarily from Environmental factors common to both reading and antisocial behavior and was stronger in boys. Environmental factors also explained the relation between reading disability and conduct disorder. Leading candidate Environmental risk factors weakly mediated the association. For boys the best Explanation was a reciprocal causation model: poor reading led to antisocial behavior, and vice versa. In contrast, the relation between reading achievement and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was best explained by common genetic influences.
