“…The previous figures showed that assuming common labor force participation trends between men and women is misleading. Paloyo (2010) investigates the effect of conscription in Germany on future earnings in a DD framework using women as a control group. Yet he assumes common trends between men and women across cohorts rather than ages, which lessens the concerns that arose when I compared men and women in Turkey.…”

“…While admitting that their regression discontinuity estimates are not very precise, having a standard error of 0.29 log points on a point estimate of 0.09 log points, they detect no statistically significant effect of mandatory military service on lifetime earnings, lifetime daily wage, or lifetime days of employment. Likewise,Paloyo (2010), applying a difference-in-differences approach with women as the comparison group to this same natural experiment, detects no significant effects of compulsory military service on log average daily wages.The authors find no effects of compulsory military service on log hourly earnings. With a point estimate of 0.034 log points and a standard error of 0.035 log points, they argue that their small and insignificant estimates might be explained by the fact that in the 1950s/60s, most conscripts received little education or training in civilian life, leaving school mostly at age 14 or 15.…”

“…Although compulsory service ended in the U.S. in 1973, the practice continued until very recently in many European nations, and is still widely used around the world. 1 Spurred in part by recent decisions to end conscription in Sweden, Italy, France, and Germany, there is renewed interest in understanding the impacts of mandatory service on a wide range of outcomes, including earnings Angrist, Chen, and Song, 2011;Grenet et al, 2011;Paloyo, 2010), education (Maurin and Xenogiani, 2007;Cipollone and Rosolia, 2007;Keller et al, 2009;Bauer et al, 2009), health (Bedard and Deschenes, 2006;Dobkin and Shabani, 2009;Autor et al, 2011), and crime (Galiani et al, 2011).…”
