Notes: The first three columns contain all men in the full matched sample whose mothers were less than 43 years old in 1865 (N=25,822). The second three columns contain all men in the ‘equal match’ sample, which uses the same matching criteria (first name, last name and age) for men in both the US and Norway in 1900, whose mothers were less than 43 years old in 1865 (N=9946). All regressions contain dummy variables for single years of own age and mother’s age.
