Notes: Each observation is a mother of one of the children in the height regressions of either the NFHS-3 (2005–2006) or NFHS-4 (2015–2016), combined here into one sample. The dependent variable is the count of situations in which the mother reported having a decision-making say; the two surveys asked about four situations in both rounds. Each confidence interval and coefficient estimate corresponds to $β^$ in a separate regression estimate of $sihv=β lowerihv+αhv+ Xihvθ,$ where s is a mother's self-reported decision-making say, lower is an indicator for being the lower-ranking mother, $α$ represents household (h) fixed effects, and X are other controls as specified. Column 4 has a smaller sample because observations in which mothers do not differ on cohort of birth (measured as century-month codes) are omitted; we include column 4 to account for the correlation between age and cohort in cross-sectional surveys. Standard errors, clustered by village (v), are shown in parentheses.
