Notes: Coefficient estimates are taken from a probit regression as described in eq. (1). Marginal effects are reported. Regressions include age, race,
state, year and education dummies and a constant. Full controls include pension and health insurance receipt in the previous year for columns (1) and
(2) and current year in columns (3)-(6). The universe in Panel I includes the years 1992-2002 with 1996 and 1997 omitted. The universe in Panel II
includes years 1992-1995, with fakepost indicating the years 1994-1995. Robust standard errors in parentheses are clustered on veteran and year.
