Note: These coefficients are ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates of equation 1, which also controls for child's age (in years) dummies, number of siblings living in the household, and indicators for lone‐parent household and for whether the child is the oldest. All regressions are weighted using the procedure described in Section II. Standard errors are given in parentheses. *** p<0.01, ** p<0.05, * p<0.1.
