Note. Adapted from Conti, Heckman, and Urzua (2010a, 2010b). This table displays unstandardized coefficients. The three-factor-model column displays the same results as Table 1 (the "Cognitive" column). The cognitive-ability-only column displays the estimated marginal effects of the cognitive factor on the outcomes for a model that does not include the noncognitive and health factors. Numbers in parentheses are t statistics. C = compulsory; PC = post-compulsory.
