Source: Authors’ data and the statistical yearbooks of the Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Anhui provinces (2015). MHT: Mental Health Test. Notes: Standard errors that account for clustering at the county level are reported in parentheses. *** Indicates significance at 1%, ** Indicates significance at 5%. Two of the surveys conducted in Shaanxi did not collect information on family assets, so there are 5073 missing observations in the third column, which controls for family assets.
