Grandmaternal education may be related to grandchild birth weight (GBW) through maternal early-life development; however, conventional regression models endogenously confounded. Alternative employing explicit structural assumptions provide incrementally clearer evidence. We used data from the US National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Adult Health (1995–2009; 1,681 mother-child pairs) estimate “direct effects” grandmaternal educational level (less than high school, school diploma or...
