Note: Standard errors in brackets. *, **, *** indicate significance at 10%, 5%, and 1% respectively. The regressions include all households that fostered a child in 1998, 1999,
or 2000. The household fixed effect is for the joint sender-receiver paired household. The dataset consists of 640 host siblings and 994 biological siblings measured over 3
years. All regressions exclude children under age 5. There are 444 observations where the child is under age 5 in a given year that were excluded from the regressions. In
column 3, the omitted age category is children over age 12. Young children are aged 5, 6, or 7. Middle children are aged 8 to 11. Data source: Author’s survey.
a All regressions include dummy variables for each age, except column 3, in which for ease of presentation, I include dummy variables indicating the age categories young
and middle. Results are qualitatively similar if I instead use age dummies.
