- Table notes: Dietary measures are frequency of consumption (number of times per week) Z-scored so treatment effect is in terms of standard deviation. Services, consumable and durable good spending treatment effects are presented as a difference between the mean in the treatment factory and the mean of the control factory. RD$ is Dominican pesos. At the time of the study the exchange rate was 1 US dollar to 38 RD$; 1 Euro to 49 RD$; 1 British Pound to 57 RD$
