Note: The parental arrests regressions are a random effects probit regression specification as suggested by Wooldridge (2005). The regressions include mother's initial labor force status, a lagged variable for mother's labor force status, a constant and the mean over all time periods for the following variables: household eligibility for casino, mother's age, the lag of household income, number of children below age 6. Robust Standard Errors are provided indicated below each estimated coefficient. A linear probability model with standard errors clustered at the individual level provides qualitatively similar results.
Note: The parental supervision and activities with parents regressions are linear probability fixed-effects regressions. The clustered standard errors are provided below the estimated coefficients. These regressions include controls for income, income squared, labor force status of the mother and father and a constant.
