Note(s): This table reports a set of endogeneity tests. Column (1) presents the PSM estimation based on the matched sample constructed using all baseline control variables. Columns (2) and (3) report the Hausman–Wu tests. Columns (4) and (5) display results for the PSM-DID approach. Columns (6) and (7) present the instrumental variable results. ***, **, and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5%, and 10% levels and standard errors are reported in parentheses
