  • Notes: Own earnings rank is instrumented with parental earnings rank. Estimates and standard errors in Panel B are multiplied by 100, such that they are measured in percentage points. The gender differences in Columns 3 and 6 are evaluated within a joint model with gender interactions on all variables. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Significance:

  • * p < 0.10,

  • ** p < 0.05,

  • *** p < 0.01.
