Note: Robust standard errors in parentheses. DID (difference-in-difference parameters) indicates the relative loss within factors. Each model is estimated conditioning on the control variables shown in Section 3.4 (results not shown here). Asterisks *, **, *** indicate statistical significance at 10, 5, 1 and 0.1 % level.
