  • Notes: For the dichotomous outcome in Columns 2 and 4, the estimates and standard errors are multiplied by 100, such that they are measured in percentage points. The regressions are based on the 1952–1975 birth cohorts. All regressions control for year of birth fixed effects. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Significance:

  • * p < 0.10,

  • ** p < 0.05,

  • *** p < 0.01.
