Notes: All estimates considered in this table are the first difference between the current and prior birth admission. Means are shown for the current birth. The sample is split by whether the mother had a C-section at the previous birth. All regressions use the preferred instrumented specification and include controls for calendar year, age group, sponsor’s pay grade and occupation, and sponsor’s race. Standard errors are clustered at the base level.
