Note. Dependent variable is farm hours last week 2004 minus farm hours last week 1991. Observations are weighted using inverse probability weights (based on table 3, discussed in the text). Includes controls from baseline for gender, age and age squared, education, number of children ages 15–50 living outside the household, season of interview, asset values, household size, and sample enumeration area classi-fication. Also included are illness and crop shock variables between baseline and 2004. PHHM is a “previous household member.” There are no instances of a PHHM who died at age 15–50 while not living with the elderly respondent who were the spouse of the elderly individual; thus, this variable is dropped in col. 4. Robust standard errors are in parentheses.
