Notes:
1. Columns 1, 2,3 and 4 report results for all, low, medium and high socio-economic status groups respectively.
2. The coefficients are marginal effects. For dummy variable, the marginal effect refer to effect of discrete change in the dummy variable from 0 to 1. The z statistics of the coefficients are in parentheses.
p < 0.05,
p < 0.01,
p < 0.001.
3. Omitted categories include male, illiterate, owner farmers (occupation), the time effect of wave 1, and rural area of residence.
4. The reduced form estimate of the price equation is reported in Appendix in Table A2.
