Table 2.

The difference in difference results. (*p < 0.1; **p < 0.05.; ***p < 0.01. Notes: In columns 1–4, the dependent variable is the difference between fusion with mothers and fusion with women. In columns 5–8, the dependent variable is the difference between allocation to mothers and allocation to women. Columns 1, 2, 5, and 6 capture the US context while columns 3, 4, 7, and 8 capture the global context. Controls include age, education, and party preferences. ‘mother’ is a dummy that takes the value of 1 if the subject is a mother and 0 otherwise. p-values are in parentheses. All columns present results from OLS regressions with robust s.e.).
