(1) Numbers in the parentheses are t ratios where White’s diagonally corrected standard errors are used throughout. **means significant at 1% level and *means significant at 5% level. (2) These pooled estimates use White’s diagonally corrected standard errors throughout. (3) Number of states and UTs = 33, number of weeks = 47; panel includes 1551 pooled observations
