  • Notes: Individual observations for cohorts born from mid-1944 to mid-1953 in the 1992 census collapsed to the day-of-birth level. Outcome variables are defined as in Table 1. 2SLS regressions instrument for years of schooling with the interaction of AFTER*TREAT, control for AFTER, and include saturated controls for day of birth interacted with AFTER and TREAT. Columns 1–8 report standard 2SLS estimates, while Columns 9–12 use report estimates from two-sample 2SLS. All specifications use a bandwidth of 180 days. Heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors are in parentheses. Significance: *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
