Note: robust standard errors in brackets. The symbols , , and indicate statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively. And the control variables are the same as in Table 4. The FE model uses a sample with at least two-period observations. In panel A, the sample contains 4,721 individuals (PID) and includes 3,633 individuals (PID) in panel B. Furthermore, the first-stage F statistic is 841.71 in panel A.
