Notes: We use the same sample as in Table 3 to study the effects of Food Stamps exposure on the incidence of mobility and differences in effects between stayers and movers. The data are collapsed into cells at the birth-county × birth-year × birth-month × survey-year level, and the reported coefficient is on the exposure variable: the share of months between conception and age 5 that a cohort is exposed to Food Stamps based on when the program began in the cohort’s county of birth. Standard errors clustered by county of birth are reported in parentheses. In the first column, the outcome is the share of individuals in a cell who are observed in the 2000–13 Census/ACS to be in a different county than the one in which they were born (i.e. the share of movers). Stayers are those who are observed to be in the same county as the one in which they were born. The subsequent columns present estimates from our main exposure model (equation 3) for our four outcome indices separately for these two subgroups.
