These values are based on the original sample(s), and not on the bootstrapped data. In panel (b), for the full sample, we report mean and standard deviation values only for reasons of space. In Panel (c) the sample size for each variable is the same as the estimation samples in Table 6 which we do not report for reasons of space. The full sample for the mechanisms is lower than the one reported for the labour market variables referring to those in work (NT = 34,700), and for the cigarettes smoked by smokers (NT = 12,986).
