(a) Effects of 1950s school enrolment gains on infant mortality rate: China, 1960-80

Counterfactual mortality rates are obtained by estimating equation (2) and using the resulting parameter estimates in combination with observed independent variable values over time (with the exception of school enrolment, which is adjusted to erase gains made in the 1950s or fixed at its earliest value) to predict mortality rates.

Counterfactual mortality rates are obtained by estimating equation (2) and using the resulting parameter estimates in combination with observed independent variable values over time (with the exception of school enrolment, which is adjusted to erase gains made in the 1950s or fixed at its earliest value) to predict mortality rates.
