Note: The baseline period is t1 (one week prior to the event of interest). The dependent variable is the number of calls to the 1522 helpline per 100,000 population. Population-weighted estimates include province and week-year fixed effects. Columns 1 to 3: province-specific linear trends based on the total number of female homicides (violence), the incidence of households in potential economic distress (poverty) and the incidence of illiterates (education). Column 4 includes province-year and week-year-region fixed effects. Column 5 reports unweighted results. In column 6 the model is estimated using the Poisson’s pseudo log-likelihood model (PPML). Standard errors are clustered at province level. *** p < 0.01, ** p < 0.05, * p < 0.1.
