Note: The numbers in brackets are robust standard errors; * Significant at 10%, ** 5%, *** 1% in OLS, LPM or Logit regressions; + p-value equal or less than 0.10 tolerance level in backward stepwise regressions, implying that the variable ought not to be removed from the model. Lmax (Lmin) is the value of left digit ratio that maximizes (minimizes) the dependent variable, equal to -b1/(2×b2), computed only for significant values in OLS and LPM regressions.
