Notes: Each cell represents results from separate models. Across all models, data are restricted to PA districts with 51+% of land area above either the HYPE or the Periphery of the Marcellus Shale geological formation. Mean district income is adjusted for inflation to 2010 US$ using CPI-U-RS. These second-stage DDIV coefficients (β) are for the interaction between instrumented mean district income and postboom period (2011–2012) (i.e., HYPEd × Postt) from paired sibling-level models that include time-varying birthing parent control variables and fixed effects for period, region, district, and birthing parent. Birthing parent control variables include marital status, educational attainment, age, and age squared.
