  1. Note:, , \( { = } \) denote significance levels at the 1, 5 and 10% level, respectively. In the regressions including the regional settlement structure the dummy for highly agglomerated areas of Type  1 is excluded and thus serves as the benchmark category for the further settlement type dummies. Standard Errors in brackets. For \( { m_1 } \), \( { m_2 } \), J- and C-statistic test results p-values are reported.
