Notes: Each coefficient in column (2) represents a separate OLS regression of equation (2) where the dependent variable is enrolled at least up to the age noted in column (1). We evaluate the coefficient at the mean inverse distance (0.07) to obtain column (3), the effect of the policy on secondary school enrollment for the average (distance) female. Multiplying each cell in (3) by the corresponding cell in column (4)-the effect of the policy on enrollment, (reproduced from the IV estimates in table 4, column (5)) gives the effect of the policy on virginity at each age. The average effect of the policy overall ages is therefore 0.12. Standard errors for the OLS estimates in column (1) are in parenthesis below the coefficient and are clustered at district level.
