TLDR
It is found that the GDL policies reduce the number of 15-17-year-old accidents by limiting the amount of teenage driving rather than by improving teenage driving, and that teen driving quality does not improve ex post GDL exposure.About:

Graduated Driver Licensing Research, 2007–Present: A Review and Commentary
Allan F. Williams,Ruth A. Shults +1 more
TL;DR: The evolution of graduated licensing systems in the past 25 years has resulted in dramatic growth in research on this topic as mentioned in this paper, and the most recent summary reports have covered the period up to 2007.

Long-term effect of the North Carolina graduated driver licensing system on licensed driver crash incidence: A 5-year survival analysis
Scott V. Masten,Robert D. Foss +1 more
TL;DR: Whether young teen drivers licensed under the North Carolina GDL system remain crash-free longer than those licensed prior to GDL, independent of the crude reductions in exposure that may be responsible for most documented effects of GDL is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risky driving among young male drivers: The effects of mood and passengers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of induced mood and the presence or absence of passengers on risky driving in young male drivers were examined in a driving simulator and found that driving with a passenger resulted in faster driving than driving alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gas prices, beer taxes and GDL programmes: effects on auto fatalities among young adults in the US
TL;DR: Results indicate that a 10% increase in gasoline prices reduce fatalities by 3.2–6.2% and the introduction of more restrictive GDL programmes, those with a 6-month learner's permit phase and subsequent limits on early nighttime driving or on the number of passengers, reduced fatalities by 24%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggressive driving behaviour in young drivers (aged 16 through 25) involved in fatal crashes.
TL;DR: The study indicates that tackling impaired driving is not sufficient to drastically reduce aggressive driving among the youngest drivers, and supports the use of graduated licensing approaches.

How Much Should We Trust Differences-In-Differences Estimates?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on female wages from the Current Population Survey and use OLS to compute the DD estimate of its "effect" as well as the standard error of this estimate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Adolescent Brain
TL;DR: Results from an ongoing brain imaging project indicate dynamic changes in brain anatomy throughout adolescence, and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex is among the latest brain regions to mature without reaching adult dimensions until the early 20s.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teenage drivers: patterns of risk.
TL;DR: Patterns of risk among teenage drivers form the basis for graduated licensing systems, which are designed to promote low-risk and discourage high-risk driving.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carrying Passengers as a Risk Factor for Crashes Fatal to 16- and 17-Year-Old Drivers
TL;DR: The data indicate that the risk of fatal injury for a 16- or 17-year-old driver increases with the number of passengers, which supports inclusion of restrictions on carrying passengers in graduated licensing systems for young drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accident risk and risk-taking behaviour among young drivers.
TL;DR: The evidence relevant to the hypotheses that young (16-25) drivers are at greater risk of being involved in a casualty accident than older drivers and this greater risk is primarily a function of their propensity to take risks while driving is reviewed.
