Incarceration. Estimates are taken from Scher and Hoffman (forthcoming), which updates Grogger's analysis of incarceration in Kids Having Kids. Data come from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 (NLSY) -Young Males sample, which includes a nationally representative sample of males who were between ages 14 and 21 in 1979. Gross impact estimates are based on a comparison of mean incarceration rates by age of mother at first birth. Net impact estimates are based on a model that controls separately for mother's age at first birth and mother's age at the birth of the respondent child. In this specification, the impact of a teen birth on the probability that a son will be incarcerated is estimated conservatively from the difference in siblings' probabilities of incarceration. The less conservative estimates of net impacts are based on a model that relates the probability of son's incarceration to mother's age at first birth, rather than mother's age at the birth of the particular child. Impact estimates of the probability of ever being incarcerated are derived from logit models. Educational Attainment and Lost Tax Revenue. Estimates are taken from Hoffman and Scher (forthcoming), which updates the analysis by Haveman,Wolfe, and Peterson in Kids Having Kids. Data come from the NLSY79-Young Adult sample, which includes children of the original NLSY79 sample of young women, ages 14-21 in 1979. Gross impact estimates are based on a comparison of mean high school graduation rates by age of mother at first birth. Net impact estimates are based on a model that controls for a large set of individual and family characteristics. High school graduation models are estimated by logit, years of education by tobit. |
