Testing whether individual and family characteristics at time t predict location at time t+ 1, conditional on rank and occupation interactions. Sample: Children aged 0–5 who moved
| Variable | Sample | Number of bases | Mean | Standard Deviation | Number of bases | Mean | Standard Deviation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Panel A Children aged 0–5 regardless of location in continental United States who moved | to any base, excluding foreign | to any base, including foreign | |||||
| One equation per year and base, control for rank*pmos D = 1 if p < 0.05 | ages 0–5 | 380 | 0.066 | 0.248 | 386 | 0.106 | 0.309 |
| Panel B Children aged 0–5 in estimation sample who moved (restrict to bases close to monitors and military hospitals) | to any base, excluding foreign | to any base, including foreign | |||||

Linear probability models. Errors clustered at the sponsor level. Control variables tested include age, gender, health variables (whether hospitalized, hospitalized in MTF, hospitalized in MTF for respiratory condition), father/sponsor’s controls (number of months since last enlistment, total active months in the military, age, white dummy, college degree, number of dependents, enlisted in the last five years), and mother’s health (whether hospitalized, hospitalized in MTF, hospitalized for pregnancy-related).
