In volume 25, issue 6 of this journal, Janet Currie and Mark Stabile (JCMS,) made a significant contribution to our understanding of the influence of ADHD symptoms on a variety of school outcomes including participation in special education, grade repetition and test scores. Their contributions include using a broad sample of children and estimating sibling fixed effects models to control for unobserved family effects. In this comment we look at a sample of older children and confirm and extend many of the JCMS findings in terms of a broader set of measures of human capital and additional specifications.
在本期刊第25卷第6期，珍妮特·柯里和马克·斯塔比尔（JCMS）对我们理解注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）症状对包括参与特殊教育、留级和考试成绩在内的多种学业成果的影响做出了重大贡献。他们的贡献包括使用广泛的儿童样本，并估计兄弟姐妹固定效应模型以控制未观察到的家庭效应。在本评论中，我们研究了年龄较大儿童的样本，并在更广泛的人力资本衡量指标和其他设定条件下证实并扩展了JCMS的许多研究结果。
