_Notes_ : This table estimates specification (2) in the paper. High Mobility refers to a binary variable for above median mobility index, which averages the z-scores from mobility variables (a)-(c) in table 1. * p _<_ 0.1, ** p _<_ 0.05, *** p _<_ 0.01. Robust standard errors in parentheses. All regressions have strata fixed effects and control for variables chosen using post-double-selection lasso procedures. RI p-values are from a randomization inference procedure that randomly permutes treatment assignment. Outcomes are defined as follows: (1) is a binary variable for whether the respondent has a job or a business that she operates outside the home; (2) and (3) are the average number of hours that the respondent spends per day on her business and on household chores, respectively; (4) is the amount of money in USD that the respondent spent on her personal needs and consumption per month; (5) and (6) are binary variables for whether the respondent has any savings and any loans, respectively; and (7) is respondent’s answer to the question: on a scale of 1-10, how much control do you have over your life?. Finally, the third panel reflects whether the respondent agrees with each of the following statements: (9) women’s value is better-preserved at home; (10) if a woman works outside the home, her children suffer; (11) if a woman works, her husband must be unable to provide; (11) when jobs are scarce, they should be reserved to men. (12) is an index that averages the z-scores from outcomes 8-11.
