Each column represents a separate regression with full controls. The models are estimated by OLS and the standard errors are clustered at the Health Service Area level. Visitor prices are per-diem rates calculated by the US General Services Administration. The bottom quartile represents the counties that do not have their own per-diem rate. Major League Baseball (MLB) Spring Training Sites include the 13 counties with a spring training facility.
