Note.—Dependent variables are as follows: PVT: the normalized Add Health version of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test; MGPA: demeaned course-level math GPA; and LWAGE: log wages at wave IV. All regressions include child age; GPA regressions include course-by-year fixed effects for math. White and white mom are omitted. Mother’s characteristics include income, on welfare, single parent, mother’s age, mother’s education, and biological mother. Biological father’s characteristics are indicators for child knows anything about, child lives with, child ever lived with, child speaks to weekly, high school diploma, some college, college degree, no child support requirement, missing race, missing education, and monthly child support payment. Missing indicators are used for all nonrace variables.
