  1. Notes: Based on the BP, establishments from group A. Dependent variable equals one if the absolute deviation is at most 10% of the administrative number. Omitted categories: Very small firms (1-9 employees), no single-plant establishment, manufacturing. Standard errors in parentheses, clustered at establishment level. Columns 2 and 4 comprise the exact same establishments. \(^{*}\) \(p<0.10\), \(^{**}\) \(p<0.05\), \(^{***}\) \(p<0.01\)
