Table 3 Effect of leaving school in an economic downturn on access to employer-sponsored health insurance: OLS model

	Men	Women
Sample proportion	0.75	0.72
School-leaving state unemployment rate	-0.0130*** (0.0042)	0.0051 (0.0052)
Interaction with time since school-leaving	0.0006*** (0.0002)	0.0001 (0.0001)
Marginal effect estimated at the mean years since school-leaving	-0.0041** (0.0020)	0.0065*** (0.0020)
N	57,827	56,862

Notes: NLSY79 sample weights applied. All models estimated with a linear probability model and adjust for personal characteristics, and school-leaving state and year fixed effects. Standard errors are clustered around the school-leaving state and are reported in parentheses. The mean number of years since school-leaving is 14.0 among men and 14.4 among women. The standard error on the marginal effect estimated at the mean years since school-leaving is calculated with a parametric bootstrap using 1,000 repetitions.
