Heteroskedastic-robust standard errors in parentheses. * p < .1, ** p < .05, *** p < .01. P-values greater than .1 indicate that we are unable to reject the null hypothesis that the statistical association between the explanatory variables and the dependent variable is equal to zero at a 90% level of confidence.
