Notes: See notes to Table 11. Statistically significantly different from zero at 1-per cent level (***), 5-per cent level (**) or 10-per cent level (*). NHPIs include those who identify as NHPI alone, and white includes those who identify as white alone and also not as Hispanic. Results including NHPI in combination are similar and are presented in Online Appendix Tables G2, G3, and G4.
