Significance codes: ^***(p < .01), ^**(p < .05), ^*(p < .1).

Notes: Expenditure data were collected from a random subsample of approximately 60% of households participating in the trial. Dependent variables are inverse hyperbolic sine, ln (yi + (yi² + 1)^1/2), of weekly per capita expenditures in each food category. The variable ‘LNS’ is an indicator variable equal to one if the mother-infant pair was randomized to receive SQ-LNS and zero if the mother received IFA or MMN capsules and her infant received no supplementation. Controls for interval of data collection, enumerator, year of maternal enrollment into the trial, maternal education, and household electrification are included in each model (unreported). Standard errors (in parentheses) are clustered at the household level. All regressions include a constant.
