  • Notes: Standard errors clustered by region and birth year are shown in parentheses. Asterisk denote significance levels (*=0.10, **=0.05, ***=0.01). Each column controls for region and birth-year fixed effects. Other controls in each regression are gender and rural dummies and the interaction of prewar regional population density with birthyear dummies. Individuals are coded as movers if they report that they no longer reside in their childhood area.
