Note: ***, **, * represent 1%, 5%, 10% significance level, respectively. The values in brackets of columns (1)–(5) in the table are t values, the same as in the following table. The values in brackets of columns (6) in the table are z values (because logit regression uses maximum likelihood estimation).
