Note: We report robust standard errors in parentheses. We calculate the conditional award intensities for the years 2005–2006, shortly after the reform was introduced. We repeat the test for years more distant from the reform but close to the time period in which the survey took place. Bold numbers indicate significance at least at the 5 % level. Bold italic numbers indicate significance at the 10 % level.
