For regression models, coefficients are marginal effects from Ordinary Least Squares Models, Generalized Linear Models with a Gaussian Distribution and a Log Link Function and a Tobit Model right censored at 1. All models include CEM weights and are additionally adjusted for Age. Robust standard errors in parentheses
