Abstract
have had difficulty replicating the UK results using the code I provided in a data appendix. 1 Through these discussions I learned that a few sampling restrictions that were mentioned in the paper were not in the code, and that some datasets were not merged correctly (for example, individuals were matched based on person and household identifiers, but not family identifiers). The British earnings measure for 1994 was also accidentally dropped. This corrigendum therefore updates the code for producing a revised set of UK results which are qualitatively similar to the original results. The revised output does not affect the discussion or conclusions of the original article. One of the primary ideas behind the original article is that the remarkably large response from changes to compulsory schooling laws in the UK provides a rare 1 I thank Paul Devereux, Heather Royer, Joseph Shapiro, and Raymond Guiteras for pointing me to these mistakes. I am a strong supporter of making available code for replication purposes, and I am grateful that these errors were identified using the paper’s data appendix.
