-0.061 -0.065 [H.sub.0]: [[sigma]. F = 8.77 ** F =12.70 ** sub.Round1] = [[sigma]. sub.Round2] Note: Standard error estimates and hypothesis tests correct for cluster structure of the samples. Standard errors in (): ** = significant at 1% level. * = significant at 5% level. The degrees of freedom for the F-tests are 1 and 590. All regressions contain the logarithm of per capita total expenditure, the logarithm of household size, the ratios to household size of the number of males and females in the 0-4, -5--9, 10-14, 15-29. 30-54, and (males only) 55+ age groups, the fraction of adults whose main occupation is agricultural self-employment, agricultural employment and non-agricultural work, a dummy variable for farm households, and dummy variables for region and sector.
