  • Notes: Standard errors clustered by region and birth year are shown in parentheses. Asterisks 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 birth-year dummies.
