All regressions are weighted using the Final Annual LSOA II weight. The set of covariates in all estimations includes the control variables listed in Table 1. Robust standard errors are listed in parenthesis and are clustered at the birth year of the respondent. The endogenous variable of interest is Social Security income, and the instrument is an indicator variable for respondents in households in which the primary beneficiary was born during 1911–1917.
