The regressions in this table repeat those in Table 2 with the exception that near neighbor policies are included as control variables. For inclusion in the sample, a county must not lie on its state’s border. In addition, there must be a matching non-border county in another state with a population centroid within X miles of the target county (where X is 100 or 200 miles). Among the set of possible matches, the one closest in a multi-dimensional hedonic distance is selected based on equation (333) in S1 Methods. Standard errors are clustered at the county level and are robust to heteroskedasticity. Significance Key
