摘要

Persson和Rossin-Slater（2018）用于估计子宫内暴露于压力的因果影响的经验方法包含一个潜在的重大缺陷。他们定义对照组的方式可能会使他们的因果估计产生偏差，并在没有因果关系的情况下导致发现显著关系。在本说明中，我描述了偏差的来源，并提出了对照组的替代规范。

Family Ruptures, Stress, and the Mental Health of the Next Generation: Comment

The empirical methodology used by Persson and Rossin-Slater (2018) to estimate the causal effect of in utero exposure to stress contains a potentially significant flaw. They define the control group in a way that may bias their causal estimates and can lead to the finding of a significant relationship when there is none. In this note, I describe the source of the bias and suggest an alternative specification of the control group.
