Notes: This table shows the means and reweighted means of the main variables used in the sample. Reweights are based on a logit estimation of the preschool attendance dummy on the set of covariates $X$. Using the propensity score, both subsets are then reweighted to the overall population. Standard errors are given in parentheses.
