All expenditure distributions were highly skew; Box-Cox transformations were applied. Tobit models were used to account for zero expenditures for all categories except for grains, vegetables, oil, and spices. P values were obtained from Tobit models, with the exception of grains, vegetables, oil, and spices, for which P values were obtained from linear regression. DD, difference-in-differences.
