Notes: This table presents estimates from regressions of log household wealth on average household EA score and varying sets of controls. Column [1] includes no controls. Column [2] includes controls for age, birth cohort, sex of respondent, and calendar year, as described in Section 4.2. Column [3] adds controls for principal components of the genetic data for genotyped household members. Column [4] adds years of education separately for both female and male household members. Column [5] replaces the two schooling variables with our full set of education controls (dummies for years of education, degree dummies and interactions as described in Section 4.2). Column [6] includes the log of total household income, but excludes any controls for education. Column [7] includes our full set of controls including the detailed education variables and the log of total household income. Significance stars ***, **, and * indicate statistical significance at the 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10 levels, respectively. Standard errors are clustered at the family level.
