Note: Statistical significance levels at p<.05,
p<.01,
p<.001 based on two-tailed tests, standard errors adjusted for clustering within patrilineal grandparents.
Coefficient statistically different from previous model with p <.05 (test only conducted for P and GP net worth). C = children, P = parents, GP = grandparents. Ranks are continuous and vary between 0 and 1.
GP SES contains square terms for education.
