From the abstract:
> Women with two children younger than their state’s age mandate have a lower annual birth probability of 0.73 percentage points.
0.73% less than what?
On page 2:
> We find that a woman’s annual probability of giving birth declines by 0.73 percentage points when a she has two children below the car seat age, a 7.8% relative drop for women with two children.
- codefreeordie 4y ago0.73 percentage point reduction in the probability of being pregnant -- which makes them 7.8% less likely to be pregnant in any given year than a woman with two children generally. As in, for women in the cohort they're using, in any given year 10.65% of them will become pregnant. But if you consider only women with two car-seat-age kids, this falls by 0.73 points to 9.92%.
