Notes: Columns 2 through 4 replicate the results from Table 3 of Jacob and Ludwig (2012). Column 5 presents re-weighted estimates, weighting by the inverse of the predicted compliance probability. The difference in sample size between columns 4 and 6 is because we trim observations with less than a 5 percent predicted compliance probability. HHH = household head. CM = control mean. IV = instrumental variables. CCM = control complier mean. See text for discussion of these estimates. We construct standard errors (clustered at the household level) by bootstrapping (N = 200) the entire estimation process to account for variance in the estimated compliance score. All earnings measured in 2007 dollars.
