*** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1; Robust standard errors in brackets (clustered at household level). Notes: (1) The constant is not reported for ordered logit estimation as it is separate for each level of the dependent variable. For the same reason, for each explanatory variable the table reports the coefficient, not the marginal effects. (2) For ordered logit estimation, the pseudo R-squared is reported.
