Education My education variable distinguishes four groups of workers: elementary, basic, medium, and high educated (skilled).
The education variables for all three surveys showed that approximately 40% of the samples had no education while another 40% had either attended some or completed secondary school; the remainder had either some or completed primary school (Table 2).
We therefore include a constraint in the model: the sum of all the crossed occupation and prenatal education variables equals 0. The results are presented as odds ratios.
All regressions control for year dummies, state fixed effects, education variables (high-school, more than high-school), working status, unmarried status and age dummies.
We used census tract college education variables from the 2000 US Census to measure neighborhood educational attainment.
The scaling coefficients vary more widely for the education variables than for LEXP and LGNIc.
The education variables were constructed using information on the highest class achieved.
Among the education variables secondary education does not have any effect on perceived entrepreneurial ability with respect to the reference category of basic education.
These education variables are constructed as simple averages over the three categories taking the values 1, 2 or 3.
