Notes: Regressions relating educational attainment categories or the probability of repeating a grade to the EA score. Specifications in panel A do not include parental education. Specifications in panel B include parental education. All regressions include a full set of dummy variables for birth year, a male dummy, and a full set of interactions between the birth year and gender dummies. Additionally, every specification includes the first 10 principle components of the full matrix of genetic data. **, and ***indicate statistical significance at the 10, 5 and 1 percent levels, respectively.
