  1. Clustered standard errors at district level for MEX, IDN, and IND, and robust standard errors for Brazil in parentheses. State- and year-fixed effects for MEX, IDN, and IND and region- and year-fixed effect for BRA. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.05; *p < 0.1. Notes: Interpretation (Brazil). For a representative household, a 1 SD increases in CDDs raises the probability of adopting AC by 5.65 percentage points on a probability scale 0–100. 1 SD increases in the log of income raises the probability of adopting AC by 9.28 percentage points. The total marginal effects include the contribution of the interaction between CDDs and total expenditure and is computed at the mean value of those variables. Full regression results with the full list of covariates are shown in Supplementary Table 7.
