Note: Reported are fixed effects estimates where regressions are weighted by under-five population. Ln means natural logarithm. k/c/d stands for kilocalories per capita per day. Robust standard errors clustered at the country level in parentheses. All columns control for subregion-specific time trends. *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1. |
