Notes: In panel A, asterisks indicate statistical significance of differences in coefficients for later cohorts and the first cohort (1970-79).

In panel A, daggers indicate statistical significance of coefficients for the interaction between educational attainment and marriage cohort.

In panel B, asterisks indicate statistical significance of differences in predicted probabilities for a given education-cohort combination and the corresponding figure for high school graduates.
