From norberg@nber.org Tue Feb 16 19:44:29 2010 Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 20:39:41 -0500 (EST) From: Karen Norberg To: Jean Roth Cc: Daniel Feenberg Subject: Re: Machine Readable VSUS Natality Tables (fwd) Hi, Jean: I discovered, in responding to this email inquiry, that the natality files we created for 1945-1968 births by race, state, and sex were never put up on the NBER website. So, here they are. I have some other versions of the same file; I confess I don't recall exactly which is which, but I think this excel file is the cleanest one.

Unfortunately we really need births by gender. I suppose we have some typing in our future!
