aRD = Dog Rabies Cases, V = Dog Vaccinations, D = Dog Population, E = Reported Exposures, RH = Human Rabies Cases, Hu = Urban Population, Hr = Rural Population, P = PEP Completions, I = [per capita] Income, X = Health Expenditures, O = Out of Pocket [health expenditures], and BMP = indicator variable for Brazil, Mexico, Peru. See Table 1 for descriptions.
bReported sample sizes are different from summary statistics in Table 2 because of missing values for some variables, and because the use of lagged variables decreases the number of observations available for the dependent variable in initial time periods.
cParameter α is the dispersion parameter for the Negative Binomial regression.
