A4.3 Homoscedasticity <strong>of</strong> residuals<br />

The variance <strong>of</strong> the residuals <strong>of</strong> the main empirical specification was not clearly found to be<br />

robust st<strong>and</strong>ard errors (presented in Section 3.5.4) revealed that the main result holds despite the<br />

above.<br />
