Template assessment

The source estimand is a land-reform-by-first-son interaction. First-son status varies within household-year cells; the template’s unit-level adoption does not identify that triple difference.

No comparison point or homogeneity-test decision is assigned to this paper.

The source regression was re-estimated on 24,696 observations before this assessment.
