Notes: Individual-level child morbidity symptom data and adult time use data from the Familias en Acción panel survey (2002, 2003, and 2005 waves); coffee cultivation data from the National Federation of Coffee Grower’s 1997 coffee censuses; annual internal coffee price data from the National Federation of Coffee Growers. Panel A shows marginal probabilities (and corresponding standard errors in parentheses, clustered by county) for the interaction between coffee growing intensity and coffee price and were calculated using estimates from equation 2 fit using probit models (controlling for county and year fixed effects and county-specific linear trends). Panel B shows marginal probabilities (and corresponding standard errors in parentheses, clustered by county) for the three-way interaction among coffee growing intensity, coffee price, and a child in the household having missed usual activities due to illness in the preceding 15 days and were calculated using estimates from equation 3 fit using probit models (controlling for the childhood illness measure, all lower-order interactions, day of the week, county and year fixed effects, and county-specific linear trends). Coffee area is in hundreds of hectares and coffee prices are in hundreds of pesos per kilogram. Implied changes are calculated for 250 hectares of coffee and a 500 peso per kilogram price change.
