Notes: All regressions control for the sample weight and strata. Differences are always calculated as [Husband response − Wife response]. A positive coefficient on a difference variable implies that as the husband’s response increases relative to the wife’s, or as the wife’s response decreases relative to the husband’s, the number of beans allocated to the wife increases.
