In Table 5 we add the recent family death variables. Having had a
spouse die within the previous two years is strongly and positively
associated with higher depressive symptom scores. These coefficients
dwarf those for the SES variables, even going from no
schooling to junior high school or more has a lower coefficient than
being a widow/widower. Compared to our baseline specification,
the schooling coefficients are not much changed, nor are the log pce
coefficients
