p < 0.1;

**

p < 0.05;

***

p < 0.01. This table includes regressions using dependent variable from 2013 and independent variables from 2012. Local Market Share is calculated based on same first three digits. Transformations are made according to general weight format denoted in Wooldridge (2012) to deal with potential heteroscedasticity. One outlier observation is dropped deliberately to avoid collinearity
