Wilcoxon tests for key business constraints

	Access to finance	Taxation	Market access
	H0: equal distributions
Z	− 2,0130	− 0,3310	0,4370
Prob >|z|	0,0441	0,7409	0,6625
Pr (male > female)	0,4820	0,4970	0,5040

Note: Before running the tests, we removed the industry means from the business constraint variables to ensure the results are not driven by industry differences in the ratio of male-to-female firms. Values in bold refer to significance at the 95 percent level of confidence
