Dependent variable is the volume of potential zoonotic disease traded. ${}^{\ast }$, ${}^{\ast \ast }$, ${}^{\ast \ast \ast }$ indicate 10, 5, 1 % significance levels. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the exporter-importer level. Constant included but not reported. (1) placebo treatment: random disease assignment; (2) subsample excluding the macaca fascicularis and the macaca mulatta; (3) subsample excluding U.S. as exporting country; (4) interaction with corruption
