  1. Data source: Cycles 3-8 of the NLSCY.
  2. This table summarizes the regression results from six different econometric techniques: i) OLS regressions; ii) ordered probit regressions; iii) interval regressions; iv) random-effects regressions; v) random-effects interval regressions; and vi) Hausman-Taylor regressions.
  3. Numbers in each cell indicate the number of times a regressor is statistically significant at 5% level or lower across the six techniques, followed by the sign of the coefficients.
  4. The following explanatory variables are treated as endogenous in the Hausman-Taylor regressions: BMI below 25th percentile, BMI 85th percentile or above, changed school other than natural grade progression in the past 2 years, changed usual place of residence in the past 2 years, child hangs out with trouble kids, PMK knows few or half of child’s close friends, PMK knows all of child’s close friends, and hours per day child spends on computer.
