Standard errors clustered by Culturees. Asterisks denote significance levels (* = 0.10, ** = 0.05, *** = 0.01). Each cell presents a separate estimate from a rdms analysis. The results of Columns (3) and (7) derive from a customized bandwidth as a result of the failure of MSE-based local linear polynomial along with the kernel function (uniform) estimate.
