Panel C includes linear and quadratic household size, number of male and female adults (aged 15–60), number of elderly (aged above 60), and number of children under 7 and those in the 7–14 age group. Wealth is calculated as the sum of column (2) – column (5) minus column (6). Land, assets and livestock at follow up are calculated by subtracting sales and adding purchases to the baseline stocks. Net borrowing is defined as outstanding loans received minus loan given. Standard errors clustered by village in parentheses. * , ** , *** .
