Domestic, single-plant versus multi-plant firms
Table summary
This table displays the results of models for domestic single-plant and multi-plant firms. 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 and multi-plant status is made in 1999. Over the period from 1989 to 1999, foreign-plant status and multi-plant status can change. Hence, foreign-plant status and multi-plant status also appear as independent variables.
