Testing for equality of all 3 columns:

LR χ2 (6) = 51.00

p-value=0.00

Testing for equality of columns 1 & 2:

LR χ2 (3) = 37.11

p-value=0.00

Testing for equality of columns 1 & 3:

LR χ2 (3) = 36.22

p-value=0.00

Testing for equality of columns 2 & 3:___________________

LR χ2 (3) = 3.36

p-value=0.34_________________

Note: I restrict the table to households that fostered in 1999 and 2000 because of the need for enrollment information prior to the
fostering episode. There are 244 host siblings, 108 foster children, and 310 biological siblings that were fostered in 1998 that are
excluded from the table. All results also exclude children under age 5. There were 59 host siblings, 6 foster children, and 83 biological
siblings under age 5 in the year prior to fostering who were also excluded from the regressions. For households fostering in 1999, I
consider 1998 enrollment as prior enrollment and 1999 enrollment as after. Results are similar if instead I focus on households involved
in fostering in 1998 and 1999 and, for households fostering in 1998 use 1998 enrollment as before and 1999 enrollment as after. Testing
for the equality of all 3 columns yields a LR χ2 (6) test statistic of 51.00 with the corresponding p-value of 0.00. Testing for the equality
of columns 1 and 2 yields a LR χ2 (3) test statistic of 37.11 with a p-value of 0.00. Testing for the equality of columns 1 and 3 yields a LR
χ2 (3) test statistic of 36.22 with a p-value of 0.00. Finally, testing for the equality of columns 2 and 3 yields a LR χ2 (3) test statistic of
3.36 with a p-value equal to 0.34. Data source: Author’s survey.
