  • Notes: “Restricted sample” excludes two districts with very high reported TSC intensity. The “never” and “some” TSC columns split the sample at the district level according to whether the district was reported to have any TSC latrines built in 2001, 2002, or 2003. Standard errors clustered by district reported in parentheses.
