Notes: Dependent variable is cumulated first-birth probability. Model A: OLS regression of the linear probability model. The full model for year 1 after the layoff is reported in Table S6 in Online Resource 1. Model B: Inverse probability weighting (IPW) estimation. For the IPW estimators, the standard errors are bootstrapped with 500 replications. Controlled for the variables listed in Table S1 in Online Resource 1.
