Note: Standard errors clustered at the woreda level and reported in parentheses.
Statistical significance denoted by *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
Bonferroni adjusted p-values in brackets and in italics. Bonferroni-adjusted critical value for 0.10 significance level, considering the average correlation between the five outcome variables, is 0.032. b indicates that the estimated p-value is below this threshold.
