Notes: Wealth Quartiles are based on the first principal component of ownership of seven household assets measured at baseline; Pichincha Province is the more urban province, while Napo and Orellana are more rural. P-values are from t-tests of equality of means for those who answer the survey versus those who don’t answer the survey (column 3), and for those who answer the survey on the first attempt to contact them, versus answer the survey only after multiple attempts (column 6).
