a’Pscore’ denotes the propensity score, which is the probability of becoming legalized. bThe outcome equation is
estimated as a polynomial in the propensity score (Heckman, Urzua and Vytlacil, 2006). cThis is the LIV estimator
from Heckman and Vytlacil (2001, 2005). dThis method combines the nonparametric I and the polynomial
approach.
