_Note: significance level p< 0.01 - ***, 0.05 - **, 0.1 - *; the value displayed in the "Differences (T-C)" column are the differences in the means across the groups; +dependency ratio defined as the ratio of dependents (children under 18 and adults 60+) to working age adults (aged 18-59 years old);_<sup>_++_</sup> _sample limited to household with children;_<sup>_+++_</sup> _F-test of joint-orthogonality excludes the proportion of children attending school because it is undefined for households without children; all expenditure and debt values are deflated across regions and months into average 2017 Turkish Lira and are windsorized at the 99th percentile;_<sup>_++++_</sup> _The food consumption score (FCS), reduced coping strategies index (rCSI), and livelihoods coping strategies index (LCSI) are calculated as per the WFP's methodology described in section 3, for the FCS a higher score indicates better food consumption outcomes, for the rCSI and LCSI a lower score indicates a better coping strategies outcome (i.e. fewer coping strategies employed)._ 45
