  • Notes: N = 19,583 children for national exam score; N = 13,564 children for on-time completion of first year of high school. RD estimates using triangular weights and a window of ± 6 years around the event. National exam score is normalized to be mean zero and standard deviation one for the entire sample of test takers. Control variables include years of education, age, gender, immigrant status, married and number of children for the victim and child gender. Standard errors in parentheses, clustered by victim. Significance: *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05.
