  • Notes: The dependent variable is the cumulative number of children the woman has had to date in a given year. All columns include age fixed effects and a quadratic in the year. 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.
