Note: robust standard errors in brackets. The symbols , , and indicate statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively. The estimated coefficient of IV (cpart_ratio) in the first-stage of regression is 1.2384, the t-statistic is 55.23, and the first-stage F statistic is 4,490.34. The year since participating in the NRPS (part_time) is only available in 2012, so the year effect is not controlled.
