Note:
1
The sample used in these simulation is comprised of 3000 replicates of a typical mother-child pair whose exogenous characteristics are median values of the estimation sample;
2
Standard errors are obtained after bootstrapping using 1000 draws of parameters using estimated parameter vector and covariance matrix.
