Note.—All regressions follow the specification in table 4 with the exception of the modification listed in panel titles. In panel B, the four arrival cohorts are 1880–85, 1886–90, 1891–95, and 1896–1900. Panel D drops immigrants who arrived in the United States before age 10 or after age 40. Standard errors are in parentheses. Sample size for panels A–C is 259,093; panel D has 243,671 observations.
