Notes: Columns 1–5 use the subsample of LGAs with area below the median. Columns 6–10 use the subsample of LGAs with area above the median. Fixed Effects estimation. All columns control for time-variant individual characteristics (age squared, education, number of children), LGA-level variables (rainy days, unemployment rate and log of average total income), and month of interview, year, LGA, and individual fixed effects. Standard errors are clustered by LGA.
↵*** significant at 1 percent;
↵** significant at 5 percent;
↵* significant at 10 percent.
↵† represents a statistically significant difference at a minimum 10 percent level between the estimated coefficients in the Below and Above Median regressions. For example, the estimated coefficient of 1.232 in the second row of Column 1 is statistically significantly different from its corresponding estimate in the second row of Column 6 of −2.759.
