Simulations of mean follow-up Z-scores

	China 1991		China 1993		South Africa		Nicaragua
Lagged z-score coefficient estimated by :	Mean	SD	Mean	SD	Mean	SD	Mean	SD

OLS	−1.564	(0.63)	−1.152	(0.67)	−1.592	(0.61)	−1.527	(0.85)
Instrumental Variables	−1.426	(0.48)	−1.136	(0.49)	−1.125	(0.26)	−1.013	(0.52)

Means based on predicted distribution of height z-score in the follow-up period using the regression models in Table 3, holding all other variables at the means, and varying the coefficient of z-score as indicated in the first column.
