Notes: All models are estimated using DHS sample weights. All models control for age, birth-year fixed effects, and state fixed effects. Models 1 is estimated per Eq. (1). Model 2 is estimated per Eq. (2). Model 3 is per Eq. (2) but substitutes UPE eligibility with UPE × new schools. Model 4 is per Eq. (1) but substitutes schooling with UPE eligibility status. Models 5 and 6 are per Eq. (3) but with different instruments in the first-stage Eq. (2). All models control for a continuous measure of age; the rate of female primary school enrollment in 1970; and survey, state, and birth-year fixed effects. Standard errors used to calculate 95% confidence intervals are clustered at the state level. Wild cluster bootstrap p values are calculated using procedures described in Cameron et al. (2008). Residuals are repeatedly resampled by cluster to form a pseudo-dependent variable, and the model is estimated for each resampled data set. The p values are the proportion of bootstrapped t statistics that are at least as large as the t value from the original model.

a

 UPE eligibility is based on birth year.

b 

The coefficient of UPE eligibility is interacted with new schools per capita in the respondent's state.
