Note: (1) The standard errors in parentheses (except Wald test) are statistically significant at the 1% (∗∗∗), 5% (∗∗), and 10% (∗) levels. (2) In all cases, the Wald test (the value in parentheses is the p value) rejects the null hypothesis that the explanatory variables as well as the dummy variables are jointly equal to zero.
