Note: Coefficient estimates are taken from equation(l). Columns (l)and(3) report
the marginal effects from a probit regression. Theremaining columns report results
from an OLS regression. Full veteran interactions do not show a veteran main
effect because
all controls are interacted with veteran. Regressions include race,
and a full set of state, year. age. and education dummies and a constant. Robust
standard errors in parentheses are clustered on veteran and year.
