Note(s): This table presents the second-stage estimation results of the two-stage Heckman selection model (Eq. (2)) after controlling for the difficulty of ID-TPA projects, proxied by the accessibility of these projects’ location. The dependent variable is NPOP, the number of people lifted out of poverty by a company in the current year. The difficulty of ID-TPA projects is proxied by ROADACC (percentage of rural households with access to public roads in a province), KMS (natural log of the number of kilometers of roadways in a province) and RAIL_KMS (natural log of the number of kilometers of railways in a province), respectively. Numbers reported in parentheses are t-statistics. ***/**/*: significant at the 1%/5%/10% level (two-tailed), respectively. Please refer to Appendix 2 for variable definitions
