1.	On "The Effects of Early Marriage on the Educational Attainments of Young Men": Comment on Kerckhoff and Parrow Journal of Marriage and Family 41,2 (May 1979): 217-223. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/351690 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Data Quality/Consistency; Educational Attainment; Marriage; School Quality While K. Kerchoff and A. Parrow's study is stated to be similar to an earlier one by V.R.A. Call and L.B. Otto, they find, not that early marriage has no significant effect on educational attainment, but that it has a negative effect. The authors suggest that this difference is due to their inclusion of a control on education prior to marriage. There are difficulties, however, in their use of the 1970 NLS Young Men's panel, rather than data from Lenawee County followed up after fifteen years, as a basis for conclusions. Both the theoretical and estimation models used also differ. A reanalysis of the Lenawee County data from the Call and Otto study confirms the original conclusions. In reply to Call and Otto, Alan C. Kerckhoff and Alan A. Parrow state that the reanalysis of the Lenawee County data does add to the understanding of the issues, confirming that the inclusion of a measure of academic performance is crucial. However, the paper criticized was not an attempt at replication, but a separate study. The two studies produce similar results when the same model is used; but when academic achievement is included in the model, results differ. Further investigation is needed to produce definitive conclusions.

2.	Sibling Resemblance in Behavioral and Cognitive Outcomes: The Role of Father Presence Presented: Bethesda, MD, Conference on Father Involvement, October 1996 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: Author Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Behavioral Differences; Cognitive Development; Family Structure; Fathers, Absence; Fathers, Involvement; Modeling; Parents, Single; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Siblings Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using longitudinal data on sibling pairs from the NLSY, we investigate the influence of father-presence on behavioral and cognitive outcomes. Our results indicate that children who live in one-parent families exhibit more behavioral problems and have lower mathematics and reading ability. The differences across time between children in two-parent and one-parent families are very stable for behavioral problems and mathematics ability. For reading ability, however, the difference between children in two-parent and one-parent families increase over time. In addition, there is a drop over time in the percentage of between-family variance in reading scores, particularly for younger siblings. This pattern suggests an increasing sensitivity of reading ability to extra-familial sources of influence as children age. That this increased sensitivity to extra-familial influences results in lower reading scores only for children in one-parent families suggests that a different set of non familial factors are operating for these children.
