- (A.4) E[y] = exp( + Ã2 /2), (A.5) where p1 is the share of establishments (with at least 1000 employees) with 1000-1499 employees, 48 When including the 526 counties with at least 5 percent of 1976 employment in mining, log median family income evolves similarly from 1950-1970, but declines by less after 1980. Because relatively few people live in high mining counties, my estimates of long-run effects on children more closely reflect the persistence seen in Figure A.2, which excludes high mining counties.

- Appendix Figure A.17 shows that there is no evidence of a relationship between the evolution of infant mortality from 1950-1979 and the severity of the 1980-1982 recession. The point estimates are generally small in magnitude and indistinguishable from zero (p = 0.91). When including counties with a high mining employment share, there is also no evidence of a significant relationship (p = 0.71). This rules out changes in infant health as an explanation for the long-run effects of the 1980-1982 recession.

- Appendix Table A.1 summarizes match rates for individuals observed in the 2000 Census and 2001-2013 ACS. I limit the sample to individuals who were born from 1950-1980 and were age 25-64 at the time of the survey. I also limit the sample to individuals with non-allocated values of gender, age, race, and state of birth, and who report being born in the U.S on the census survey. 95.9 percent of the sample has a non-missing protected identification key (PIK), which is the anonymous identifier used to link Census/ACS and SSA data. Of these individuals, 99.6 percent have a PIK that is not duplicated within a survey year. We identify a unique birth county for 93.6 percent of the individuals with non-duplicated PIKs. Ultimately, these restrictions leave 89.4 percent of the initial sample. The majority of matches, 80.4 percent, are exact matches, while 11.0 percent are duplicates, 5.1 percent are matched probabilistically, and 3.5 percent are hand matches.

- Appendix Table A.13 presents similar results for labor market outcomes. The results are again quite robust, with the 1960 covariates having the largest impact. The robustness of the labor market outcomes to controls for subsequent recession severity is particularly notable, as later recessions could have substantially impacted income and wages; the insensitivity to these controls is consistent with the small correlations shown in Appendix Table A.10.

- Appendix Table A.14 shows that results are similar when replacing the 1979-1982 decrease in log earnings per capita with other measures of recession severity: the decrease in log earnings, the decrease in log income per capita, the decrease in log employment, and the decrease in earnings per capita. The magnitude of estimates are similar when measuring the change in earnings per capita in logs or levels.55 H Effects on Local Government Expenditures and Revenues This section examines the effects of the 1980-1982 recession on local government expenditures and revenues, which could affect human capital development in childhood. I find that expenditures per capita fell starting in 1992 in counties that experienced a more severe recession, but there is little evidence of a decrease before then, likely due to higher federal transfers. The decline in expenditures is driven by spending on welfare and health, and not education.

- Appendix Table A.16 provides suggestive evidence that intergovernmental transfers initially offset the decrease in tax revenues after the recession. As seen in column 1, there is a significant decrease in general direct revenues from 1992-forward.60 Underlying this is an immediate decrease in tax revenue (column 2), possibly offset by an increase in intergovernmental transfers in 1982 and 1987 (column 4). Column 5 shows that property taxes, which account for 33 percent of general direct revenue and 89 percent of tax revenue, drive the decrease in total tax revenues. Columns 6-8 suggest that offsetting intergovernmental transfers came from federal and local, as opposed to state, governments.

Column 8 returns to the baseline specification, but replaces birth state by age in 1979 fixed effects with birth region by age in 1979 fixed effects. Column 9 adds to the baseline specification controls for the log number of births in a county; I include this specification because Appendix Figure A.18 displays an increase in birth rates from 1960-1972 followed by a decline, and this fluctuation in birth rates could threaten my empirical strategy if different types of children were born at different times.

Standard facts about the log-normal distribution imply that the imputed means for the four establishment size groups are 1247, 1952, 3414, and 7055.49 D Addressing Measurement Error in Recession Exposure This section describes measurement error that arises because some individuals’ county of residence in 1979, which is the ideal variable for measuring recession exposure, differs from their county of birth, which is all I observe. I show that this measurement error attenuates estimates of Àa in equation (1), and I quantify the size of this attenuation.

- convert data on earnings by place of work to earnings by place of residence. To examine this possibility, Panel C shows OLS estimates where the key explanatory variable is the change in log employment from 1979-1982, which is subject to less measurement error (both because employment is easier to measure than earnings and because there is no place of residence adjustment). Consistent with an important role for measurement error in Panel B, there is less attenuation in the OLS estimates in Panel C. Appendix Table A.5 presents reduced-form and OLS estimates for labor market outcomes. The patterns are extremely similar.

- I examine the evolution of the infant mortality rate (deaths per 1,000 births) by estimating 2SLS regressions similar to equation (A.1). The regression includes county of residence and state of residence by birth year fixed effects, the share of births that are nonwhite, and the pre-recession county covariates. My sample contains individuals born from 1950-1979. I normalize the interaction between the severity of the recession and birth year to equal 0 for individuals born in 1950, and I aggregate the remaining interactions into three-year bins. I use the predicted log employment change as an instrumental variable and initially exclude the 526 counties with at least 5 percent of 1976 employment in the mining sector.

To impute employment for these large establishments, I assume that employment follows a log normal distribution, with mean and standard deviation Ã, and estimate (, Ã) using the generalized method of moments (GMM), as in Holmes and Stevens (2002). I estimate (, Ã) using the following four moments: p1 = Φ ln(1499) − Ã

- Our algorithm yields four broad categories of matches. Each step proceeds sequentially and only applies to NUMIDENT strings not previously matched. In a preliminary processing step, we correct for common acronyms and abbreviations by hand for any string that occurs more than 50 times in the NUMIDENT data for the 1950-1985 birth cohorts. First, we obtain exact matches for correctly spelled place names that can be uniquely identified in a birth state with 12 characters.

- Overall, these specifications yield quite similar results, especially for high school/GED and four-year college degree attainment. For other outcomes, the most important covariates are the 1960 variables added in column 4. These covariates lead to larger negative impacts on college attendance and attenuate the positive impacts on two-year degree attainment, especially for individuals age 0-10 in 1979. In turn, the attenuated impact on two-year degree attainment leads to more negative impacts on any college degree attainment and years of education. Results are quite similar from the other specifications in the table.

- Second, I assume that estimates of λa for individuals born from 1970-2013 accurately characterize the measurement error relationship for individuals born from 1950-1979. Support for this assumption comes from the fact that estimates of λa are stable across the 1968-2013 birth cohorts in the PSID, as shown in Appendix Table A.2.52 Appendix Figure A.5 shows that migration rates are remarkably stable across the 1968-2013 birth cohorts in the PSID. Appendix Figure A.6 shows the consequences of adjusting the effects of the recession on fouryear college degree attainment for attenuation bias. The adjusted effects are larger in magnitude, but they lie within the 95 percent confidence interval of the unadjusted estimates. Appendix Figures A.7-A.11 present the measurement error adjustments for other educational outcomes.

- Second, we obtain “duplicate†matches for correctly spelled place names that can, in principle, be identified uniquely in 12 characters. We assign individuals to a single birth county if at least 75 percent of the exact matches are to a single county, and we assign multiple birth counties otherwise.45 Third, we use hand matches from Isen, Rossin-Slater and Walker (2017), described in their Appendix C. Fourth, we use probabilistic matching algorithms.46 Finally, we hand check 43 We restrict attention to geographic features that are plausibly populated (those with a Populated Place, Census, or Civil feature class) or have a federal location code. 44 For example, there are three different Populated Places in North Carolina beginning with “Bells Crossroads†located in different counties. Repeated place names pose less of a problem if the place name has less than 12 characters.

- The estimates of αt in Appendix Figure A.2 characterize the 1980-1982 recession as a reversal of post-war fortune: counties with a more severe recession saw greater median family income growth from 1950-1970. This pattern arises from estimates of model 1, which contains county 47 I use median family income because it is available at the county-level from decennial Censuses for 1950-2000 (and the ACS for 2010) and is an important measure of local economic conditions. County-level Census data do not consistently report other quantiles of the family income distribution from 1950-2010.

- To address this concern, I use confidential Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) data. PSID data allow me to estimate λa for individuals born from 1968-1979 and observed in 1979, but they only contain information on county of residence. I limit the PSID sample to individuals who are first observed before age 3 to make early life county of residence a better proxy for county of birth. As seen in Appendix Figure A.4, point estimates of λa from Census/ACS data range from 0.75 for 0 year olds to 0.40 for 29 year olds. Point estimates from PSID data display a similar age profile, but are larger because county of residence is more strongly related to county of residence in early life than county of birth. Appendix Figure A.4 clearly suggests that my estimates of the recession’s long-run effects are attenuated.

- To examine the effect of the recession on local government expenditures and revenues, I estimate event study regressions similar to equation (A.1), where the dependent variable is log real expenditures or revenues.56 I use data from the Census of Governments, which contains information on expenditures and revenues for all government units in years that end in a “2†or “7.â€Â57 I collapse all government units to the county level for years 1972, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1992, and 1997. I normalize the interaction between year 1977 and the severity of the recession to equal zero.

- two assumptions. First, I assume that unobserved measurement error, vi,a,c,t, is uncorrelated with unobserved determinants of long-run outcomes, ε∗ i,a,c,t, conditional on the covariates in equation (A.6). For example, this rules out the possibility that parents of young children with high ε∗ i,a,c,t anticipated the recession and moved to less severe recession counties before 1980. The suddenness of the changes in local economic activity that emerged during the recession support this assumption.

- Unfortunately, these files are not currently linked. Instead, I estimate λa using two data sets that provide valuable, but imperfect, information. First, I use 2000-2013 Census/ACS data for individuals born from 1970-2013 who are ages 0 to 29 at the time of the survey. These data contain county of birth from the NUMIDENT, like the data I use to estimate the long-run effects of the 1980-1982 recession, and county of residence at the time of the survey. Because they measure the relationship between county of birth and county of residence after the 1980-1982 recession, they might not accurately characterize measurement error if migration patterns have changed over time.

- When adjusting for this attenuation, I prefer to use the Census/ACS data because they contain the most comparable information on place of birth. The validity of this adjustment depends on 50 These orthogonality conditions imply that ε∗ i,a,c,t is orthogonal to R79−82 c , and hence that εi,a,c,t is orthogonal to R79−82 c . Alternatively, I could assume that εi,a,c,t is orthogonal to R79−82 c , which would imply that ε∗ i,a,c,t is orthogonal to R79−82 c , and hence that ε∗ i,a,c,t is orthogonal to R79−82∗ i,a,c,t . 51 An alternative approach is to define R79−82∗ a,c as the average change in log earnings per capita for individuals age a in 1979 and born in county c, and note that R79−82∗ a,c = P
