Institutional prestige is an ordinal ranking from 1 to 100. Covariates include neighbourhood, income and parents’ education levels, adjusting for discipline, race/ethnicity, gender and Ph.D. ranking. Bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals in brackets, and coefficients with P < 0.05 are denoted by the asterisk. Baseline is women in Anthropology from urban neighbourhoods whose parents’ highest education was some college.
