  1. The entries are coefficients β1 in the equation ΔYi = β0 + β1treatedi + Δεi. All equations were estimated using two years of data, i.e. the first and the last year of each period. N = 303–304. Heteroscedasticity-robust standard errors in parentheses. Statistical significance is denoted as: *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001
