Note(s): Robust standard errors in parentheses, two tailed significance (* = p < 0.10, ** = p < 0.05, *** = p < 0.01). CI: Confidence interval
The ECS MR 2019 model was also reassessed based on the same control variables that are available for the ECS MR 2013 survey data, confirming the DA, INVOLVEMENT, and DA × INVOLVEMENT coefficients
Interaction effects are significant at the 1% level for process innovation specifically (supplementary file 8.5) and at the 5% level for manufacturing (supplementary file 8.4)
