Geographically weighted regression could report estimated coefficients for each variable in each province. Therefore, there will be 31 estimated coefficients for each variable, corresponding to 31 provinces. In order to compare them between different period, the average, median, minimum, and maximum values of the 31 estimated coefficients were calculated and reported in Table 2
