Note:
1
The sample used in these simulation is comprised of 3000 replicates of a typical mother-child pair whose exogenous characteristics are median values of the estimation sample;
2
The birth weight is set to be 2.0 kg and birth length is set to be 34.0cm;
3
The birth weight is set to be 3.3 kg and birth length is set to be 51.0cm;
4
Both health outcomes and health inputs are simulated using the full model estimates;
5
Health inputs are randomly drawn from sample;
6
Standard errors are obtained after bootstrapping using 1000 draws of parameters using estimated parameter vector and covariance matrix.
