Each column represents a separate regression. The unit of observation is county/quarter. Each cell is weighted by the number of births. Each regression controls for the fraction of “young” and “old” mothers, married, finished college, white, and cigarette prices including taxes. p‐values are in parentheses.
LBW, low birth weight; VLBW, very low birth weight.
