Note: This table displays the differences between CCT recipient households and non-CCT district controls in the pre-policy change period among the panel sample. The coefficients on the interaction of the treatment indicator and year is an indication of whether the two groups have common trends before the policy change. The regressions also include a quadratic term for log(expenditures). Robust standard errors are clustered at the district level.
