Notes: $Λ_{t . k_{1} k_{2}}$ are bias correction terms for sample selection. $\hat{ω}$ are residuals from reduced form equations for experience of each spouse. Standard errors are computed using 500 nonparametric bootstrap replications. Asterisks * denote a p-value between 5% and 1%, and ** a p-value below 1%.
