Notes: +, ++, +++ mean associated variable has a positive and statistically significant impact at the 10%, 5%,
and 1% levels, respectively.
-, --, --- mean the associated variable has negative and statistically significant impact at the 10%,
5%, and 1% levels, respectively.
0 means the associated variable is not statistically significant at 10% or it is significant at 10% but not
robust, i.e. it is significant under only one specification among the three models estimated (see Table A5.1 and
A5.2 and appendix 5 for details).
