Notes: Samples for High School Dropout behaviour consist of all respondents in the NLSY79 data (All Offspring) and the subsample of respondents that had at least one sibling in the NLSY79 data (Multiple Offspring per Family).

Samples for Teenage Childbearing behaviour consist of all female respondents in the NLSY79 data (All Daughters) and the subsample of female respondents that had more than one sister in the NLSY79 data set (Multiple Daughters per Family).

Sampling weights were used to reproduce the population distribution of means.
