Notes: The reported figures are estimates from least squares regressions in which the dependent variable is completed years of education; for third-generation children, this measure represents the average of father’s and mother’s education. Heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors are shown in parentheses. The sample sizes are 5,731 for second-generation adults and 2,396 for third-generation children. See Table 1 and the text for further information about the samples. The “other control variables” in specifications (2) and (3) include indicators for gender, geographic location, survey month, and survey year. For second-generation adults, the “other control variables” also include indicators for the respondent’s age. For third-generation children, these additional variables include the ages of the child and of his father and mother.
