Note(s):

***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05; † p < 0.10. Effect size interpretation (Cohen, 1988): |ρ| 0.10–0.29 = weak, 0.30–0.49 = moderate, ≥ 0.50 = strong. Innovation index and cooperation index are z-standardised sums of respective components. n varies due to missing values on budget and strategy variables
