Robust standard errors in parentheses. Standard errors are adjusted for clustering within respondents.

p-values:

+

p < 0.10,

*

p < 0.05,

**

p < 0.01.

Analyses additionally control for respondent age, age2, coresidence of parent, and region (3 regions). These coefficients are allowed to vary by gender of the respondent and gender of the parent. Analyses are conditional on parent being alive.

Coded as 0 = no likelihood, 1 = some likelihood, 2 = medium likelihood, and 3 = high likelihood.

Only children who were given or provided substantial amount of financial/non-financial transfers.
