Notes: ***Significant at 1%. **Significant at 5%. *Significant at 10%. SEs clustered by dust point arer reported in parentheses, unless otherwise indicated. All regressions are OLS. Demographic controls are birth order, female, multiple, mother’s age, mother’s age squared, mother’s years of education and mother’s religion, unless otherwise indicated. Weather controls are rainfall, temperature, rainfall and temperature interacted, rainfall and temperature squared.
