  • Notes: Each column and panel presents results from a separate regression. The column title indicates the outcome measure (construct) of interest. Regression controls include only those necessary to account for the study sampling design by country (basic controls); more specific information on the control sets for each country can be found in Online Appendix Table 3. For regressions with other control specifications, see Online Appendix Tables 10–12. Each regression is properly weighted and clustered according to the country’s sample design. Results presented for each treatment indicator include the coefficient estimates, standard errors in parentheses, and in brackets the p-values from Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K–S) tests of equality of distributions between the treatment group and control group. Significance: *p < 0.1, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001. The results presented in brackets in the final two rows of each panel are (i) p-values on the test of equality of the treatment indicator coefficients and (ii) p-values from Kolmogorov–Smirnov (K–S) tests of equality of distributions between the two treatment groups.
