Data and Code for: "Head Start Access: No Evidence of Changes to Lifetime Fertility"

This repository includes data and code used to investigate if access to the Head Start program during childhood affects lifetime fertility. Using variation from the rollout of Head Start with a robust difference-in-differences approach, we find that Head Start access does not affect adult fertility on either the extensive or intensive margins. Our results suggest that there is no meaningful effect in the share of the cohorts who have any children nor in the total number of children born to women before age 45.
