  1. The variables of sibling sex composition for models (1), (4), (7), and (10) are “have brother(s)”, for model (2), (5), (8), and (11) are “have sister(s)”, and for model (3), (6), (9), and (12) are ‘proportion of female siblings,’ respectively. Data are weighted according to the sampling probabilities. Standard error for clustering robustness in the parentheses. *p < 0.1; **p < 0.05; ***p < 0.01.
