First, looking back at the past blog posts on North Dublin, I shared similar worries about the validity of the study.\u00a0 Whoever wrote “Reading Response #2: Mortality in the North Dublin Union during the Great Famine” hit the nail on the head by saying they were concerned that they only looked at workhouse, perhaps creating bias in the study.<\/p>\n

For this week, I think there is an issue with study.\u00a0 However, the issue is different than the study above.\u00a0 I think the methods employed were fine.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 I worry the conclusion taken from their results seems a little too strong.\u00a0 Meaning, given the data, they derived meaning from it very well, but I think\u00a0 what they inferred from this sample (the survey), to all the population (everyone) is somewhat misleading.\u00a0 I think to do that, they would have needed to use a entity and time fixed effect model.\u00a0 \u00a0I do not mean to discount their results, but with all economics papers, this should be taken with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n
