  1. Model A is the same model as reported in Table 4 as OLS. Model B includes additional explanatory variables and Model C uses the variables of Model A and the sample of Model B. All regressions include also additional control variables such as mother’s and father’s age and indigenous background, an indicator for rural areas (none of these is significant). Additionally state fixed effects and control variables of government aid programs are included but not reported. Robust standard errors are reported
