Description: "Recently, Currie and Stabile (2006) made a significant contribution to our understanding of the influence of ADHD symptoms on a variety of school outcomes including participation in special education, grade repetition and test scores.  Their contributions include using a broad sample of children and estimating sibling fixed effects models to control for unobserved family effects.  In this paper we look at a sample of older children and confirm and extend many of the JCMS findings in terms of a broader set of measures of human capital and additional specifications"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site.
