Standard errors are reported in parentheses.^*,^** and^*** respectively indicate statistical significance at 10%, 5% and 1% levels

The coefficient estimates in these columns come from a single estimation of Eq. (2), where four mediators are simultaneously incorporated

Each coefficient estimate in these columns comes from a separate regression of one mediator against cooperative membership and a set of controls

⁴

The indirect effects are computed as the product of the coefficient of each mediator predicting adoption in Eq. (2) and the coefficient of cooperative membership predicting each mediator in Eq. (3). Standard errors are obtained through bootstrapping (5,000 times)
