Robust SEs are in parentheses. Estimates in columns 1 to 4 represent ordinary least squares regression coefficients. Estimates in columns 5 and 6 represent log odds coefficients from a logistic regression. SEs are clustered at the trade and participant level in columns 1 to 4 and at the participant level in columns 5 and 6). +P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001.
