Notes: Each column reports a separate ordinary least squares (OLS) regression of the dependent variable on a constant and the years of education PGS. R2 reported is the incremental R2 for the PGS. All regressions control for population stratification in the genotype data. PGS is standardized on the analytic sample. Robust standard errors are in parentheses.
