Notes: Sample is restricted to most recent birth of ever-married women (ages 15–49) within five years previous to the survey. Controls include state fixed effects, birth year fixed effects, survey year fixed effects, mother’s age, mother’s education, dummy for urban, birth order, and existing sex ratio of children (defined as the ratio of boys to the total number of births prior to the most recent one). National sample weights are used in all regressions.
