Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? The authors interpret their findings as indicating that neighborhood effects on children are mediated by time-varying family characteristics such as parental employment and marital status. → Wodtke 2011

q2 · i? · associational · r3
Authors' interpretation of the IPT-weighted PSID results: because IPT weighting retains indirect pathways through time-varying covariates, the larger estimates are read as evidence that "neighborhood effects on children operate in part through neighborhood effects on parents."
"These effects are considerably larger than estimates from prior research and appear to be mediated by time-varying characteristics of the family. In other words, our findings suggest that neighborhood effects on children operate in part through neighborhood effects on parents."
