This research paper uses Instrumental Variable Options to analyse whether "participation in out-of-school extracurricular activities improve academic achievement or behavior for elementary school children? [And] If so, are the impacts of participation related to the types of extracurricular activities that students pursue (e.g., music and arts, language, computer classes, sports)?" (Chaplin & Puma, 2003)
