The American Economic Review v. 107, n. 2, February 2017, p. 629-631Summary: Dahl and Lochner (2012) provides some of the first causal evidenceof the effects of family income on child achievement using changes in the Earned Income Tax Credit. Unfortunately, a coding error in the creation of total family income affects the first stage estimates and inflates the instrumental variable (IV) estimates. Importantly, it does not affect the reduced-form estimates oralter statistical significance of the IV estimates. This response shows that correcting this error does not alter the core findings or main message of the paper.
