  2. Table 13 presents the results of treatment effects generated via the inverse-probability weights (IPW) matching strategy. Overall, the findings show the negative impacts of LSAI on the food security status of the local community. The results are consistent with the ones generated through CEM (Table 15) and PSM (the main manuscript).
