Notes: Each column of each panel corresponds to a different OLS regression model. Each model includes wave and child fixed effects, state-level covariates, and sampling weights. Expansion represents β₁ from equation (1) as shown in appendix, estimated for sub-sample of higher-income (> 400%FPL households only), and measures the average effect of the Medicaid expansions after it took place. Mean of each dependent variable (DV) provides the within-child average of the DV after controlling for just wave fixed effects. Heteroscedasticity-robust standard errors, in parentheses, are clustered at the state level.
