Notes: N in control states (AL, ID, MS, MT, NC, NH, OH, OR, VT & VA) =200,739. N in WA=43,948. Observations are household-months from January 2010-May 2012. Income, marital status and race variables are binary and percentages sum to one. State unemployment is the percentage*100. State beer tax, number of adults and household size are continuous variables. Male head and female head percentages are unconditional means and do not sum to one. All means are calculated using sampling weights.
