This table summarizes key baseline characteristics of the full sample. Each cell contains a sample mean (weighted to maintain initial population proportions), and the standard deviation is provided in parentheses for continuous measures. The “SigDiff” column notes a statistically significant difference at p < 0.1 (*), p < 0.05 (**), and p < 0.01 (***). The asset index takes a value between 1 and 9 indicating the decile of household assets in relation to the rest of the GAGE sample in Ethiopia (based on a series of indicators for 16 different measures of household durables).
