Notes. Standard errors clustered by survey PSU. Disease ‘local fractions’ are the fraction of children under 5 in the survey PSU who were reported by their mother to have had that symptom within the last month. Column (4) incudes every control (demographic, extended demographic, educational, social, and local rice and wheat prices) from Table 4, which uses the same data source. ***p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, *p < 0.10.
