This paper studies the long-term socioeconomic consequences of an ADHD diagnosis in childhood on adult employment and earnings, using Add Health database. The results show that childhood ADHD substantially reduces employment probabilities in early adulthood. In contrast, once both endogeneity and selection are properly addressed, ADHD has no direct effect on earnings conditional on employment.
