In East Timor, Mr. Galbraith noted, "he had absolute power, it was the most comprehensive mandate" ever granted to such a special representative.
In 1996, all EU member states agreed to provide the commission with a mandate to negotiate on matters other than traffic rights and some now accept the logic, and the need, for providing a comprehensive mandate.
Overall, the results show no statistically significant effect of either the strong or the comprehensive mandates on completed fertility.
The magnitudes of the marginal effects evaluated at 10 years are also quite large, especially for the strong-mandates 'whites' sample as well as for the comprehensive mandates.
The results in Panel A of Table 2 show that having a strong or comprehensive mandate enacted by age 30 for 1 5 years is associated with a higher probability of having at least one child before age 30, and this effect is statistically significant for the strong mandates ('whites' sample) and for the comprehensive mandates (both for 'all' and for 'whites'whites
To use linked assisted reproductive technology (ART) surveillance and birth certificate data to compare ET practices and perinatal outcomes for a state with a comprehensive mandate requiring coverage of IVF services versus states without a mandate.
Overall, our estimates, based on data on the number of biological children from the June CPS, show no statistically significant effect of either the strong or the comprehensive mandates on completed fertility.
We focus our analysis on the effect of 'strong mandates to cover', which were passed in six states in the United States (the treatment group): Arkansas (1987), Hawaii (1987), Illinois (1991), Maryland (1985), Massachusetts (1987), and Rhode-Island (1989), as well as on a subset of this group that enacted the most comprehensive mandates (Illinois, Massachusetts, and Rhode-Island).
In particular, we find evidence in favour of a behavioural response in the form of a delay of motherhood in the states that have enacted strong and comprehensive mandates both through a reduction of the probability of having a child by the age of 30 and through an increasing effect of the mandates on the average age at first birth over time.
