Observations by Wave: 3,314 (Wave 1); 3,662 (Wave 2); 4,230 (Wave 3); 4,503 (Wave 4); 4,681 (Wave 5)

Notes

a

All models limited to currently married women of reproductive age (15–49) able to conceive who were exposed to a shock (in community at least one year before survey)

b

Summary statistics for predictor variables refer to observations eligible for fertility intentions models (greatest sample size of the three outcome variables)

c

Used as reference category in regression models

d

IDR=Indonesian Rupiah. Asset values are adjusted for inflation index based on 2010 IDR value. Quartiles of the natural log of asset values generated by wave are used in models in Tables 26
