_Notes_ : All specifications include a constant and indicators for female, ethnic origin, public high school, birth order, age and year. Number of technological schools and t&t institutes within 50km are also included as controls. Coefficients and marginal effects are reported with robust standard errors in parenthesis, which are clustered by urban area of high school. _∗∗∗_ , _∗∗_ , and _∗_ indicate significance at the 1, 5, and 10 percent levels. Marginal effects are evaluated at the mean values of the independent variables. Predicted probabilities for missing interactions in column (2a) are shown in figure 3. ‘Mother, less than high school’, ‘Very low household income,’ and ‘In a big city during high school’ are the excluded categories.
