Note: Results from equation (2), based on 128 observations. P values are based on standard errors that allow for serial correlation of first order. The column labeled "Change in regressors" shows changes in the weighted means of the explanatory variables from the 2000-to-2002 period to the 2010-to-2012 period. All models include region indicators and year effects.
