Notes: Sample includes matched men whose mothers were less than 43 years old in 1865 (N=25,822). All regressions contain province fixed effects, dummy variables for own age and mother’s age, indicators for urban residence and living in a parent’s municipality of birth in 1865; and dummy variables for number of siblings and number of brothers. Match to property tax bill is an indicator equal to one if the household head in the 1865 Census matches to the 1886 Land Register. Conditional on matching to the Land Register, information is available on the size of the household’s property tax bill (N=2725). This data is coded in the variable “property tax bill.”
