p<.001 based on two-tailed tests, standard errors adjusted for clustering within patrilineal grandparents.

Coefficient statistically different from previous model with p <.05 (test only conducted for GP net worth). C = children, P = parents, GP = grandparents. Ranks are continuous and vary between 0 and 1.
