Correction to: J Popul Econ (2019) 32:1315–1352.
It has been brought to our attention that the comparative statics derived in Section 3.3.1 of our paper and presented in Table 1 (p. 1326) are wrong.
To see this, it is easiest to first re-express eqs. (11a) through (11c) as:
From these equations, it is more straightforward to arrive at the corrected Table 1:
Corrected Table 1.
Comparative statics of parenting style and traditional models.

The discussion of the comparative statistics (p. 1326) remains unaffected by this correction. A corrected Appendix for the paper can be found here.
