  • Notes: OLS columns include age, age squared, sex, education, number of children, number of rainy days, the unemployment rate, log of average total income, binary indicators for month of interview, year, LGA, and the interaction between year indicators and LGA indicators. FE columns include the same but exclude age (linear over time) and sex (fixed over time) and include individual fixed effects.

  • ↵^ : estimated coefficients multiplied by 1,000 for aesthetic purposes. Standard errors are clustered by LGA. Observations: 32,594.
