Domestic versus foreign plants
Table summary
This table displays the results of models for domestic and foreign controlled plants. The row headers describe the variables used in the models (plant and place characteristics). The column headers identify the estimated model and associated coefficient and p-value alternating across the models. The column header also identifies the difference between the models' coefficients, displayed as the difference itself and related p-value.

Note(s):
The determination of foreign-plant status is made in 1999. Over the period from 1989 to 1999, foreign-plant status can change. Hence, foreign-plant status also appears as an independent variable.
