Notes: Numbers in parentheses are standard errors. Sample restricted to children whose mothers were not continuously married and living with their spouse, for whom we have data on job separation, and for children who were at least 19 years old in 2010. Propensity scores were estimated by a series of logit regression models of maternal displacement on the set of pre-displacement time-invariant and time-varying covariates. TUT standard errors were bootstrapped based on 50 replications.
