  • Notes: All regressions include individual fixed effects, year fixed effects, and a quadratic in husband’s age. The omitted category is never having a displaced husband or three or more years prior to a husband’s displacement. Standard error estimates, clustered on the individual, are displayed in parentheses. Regressions are weighted using the family weight from the last year women are observed with their first husband.
