Note: Standard errors in brackets. *, **, *** indicate significance at 10%, 5%, and 1% respectively. Dataset includes 640 host siblings, 994
biological siblings, 316 foster children, and 470 non-fostering household children measured over 3 years with the reference group being children
from non-fostering households. Columns 1 and 5 exclude 604 observations in which the children were under age 5 in a given year. To control for
age effects in columns 1 and 5, I also include dummy variables indicating if the child is young or middle aged. In the age restricted columns, I run
the same child or household fixed effects regression but the dataset is restricted to include children of that age range. The year dummies are
interacted with an indicator variable for children from non-fostering households to capture the control group’s time trend. Data source: Author’s
survey.
