Note(s): The dependent variable is the fiscal sustainability (moving 3-year average of the revenue-expenditure ratio) of a municipality. In Bayesian models, credible intervals are utilized instead of confidence intervals, providing a range of values within which the true parameter value is likely to lie. When the credible interval includes zero, the corresponding coefficient may not have a statistically significant effect on the dependent variable
