Notes. Table reports the coeffcient of a set of OLS regressions with a dummy variable that identifies the cohorts born after two non-discontinuity points, namely five years before the first cohort affected by the 1947 reform (1928) and the second five years after (1938). In each regression the sample includes respondents born five years before and after the non discontinuity point. All regressions include: a linear function of month of birth and its interaction with the virtual reform dummy; controls for adult height and for survey year. The standard error in parenthesis are robust to heteroskedasticity and clustered by month of birth and survey year. Significance levels:

(*)

p-values between 10 and 5 percent;

(**)

p-values between 5 and 1 percent;

(***)

p-values less than 1 percent.
