  1. Notes: Model 1 controls for child’s age, sex, singleton/multiple birth status, birth order, vaccination status, months of breastfeeding, recent fever, and recent diarrhea; mother’s age, number of children, education, BMI, and marital status; household residence (rural/urban), wealth quintile, improved water, and improved sanitation; country-level share of tradable agriculture, log of the value of production of agriculture, NRA for non-tradable agriculture, log of official development assistance and aid, and governance (democratization); country fixed-effects and year fixed-effects. Model 2 adds an interaction between the NRA to tradable agriculture and parental occupation. Model 3 adds interaction terms with the share of tradable agriculture, including a three-way interaction with the NRA to tradable agriculture and parental occupation. Share of tradable agriculture is centered at 50%. Standard errors are clustered by country. Estimates in italics represent p-values < 0.10. * represents p-values < 0.05. ** represents p-values < 0.01. *** represents p-values < 0.001
