Notes: Estimates of discontinuity at the cutoff in an RD-DiD framework. Estimations equivalent to those in Table 2 but on data from different subsamples. Fully interacted model: all variables are interacted with dummy variable “younger,” “not married,” “less than high school,” “poor province,” and “stronger crisis” in Columns 1–5, respectively, and the dummy variable itself is also included. Division into younger (15–32 years) and older (33–44 years) age groups in Column 1 is based on median maternal age in birth data in 2000–2017. Data are restricted to eight weeks on each side of the cutoff. Abortions related to fetal deformations are excluded. Sample size is 3,200. Standard errors are clustered at the province level.
