Estimates of impact of awareness of MSP on price received at the farm-gate (n = 7,656)

Outcome variable (ATT)	Matching estimator	Coefficient	SE	p value	95% confidence interval
Ln (Price received (Rs/Quintal))	Nearest neighbor (nn) matching (Mahalanobis distance)	0.0010	0.0048	0.828	−0.0105 to 0.0084
	Propensity score matching (nn(2))	−0.0045	0.0045	0.318	−0.0134 to 0.0043
	Propensity score matching (nn(2) with caliper)	−0.0015	0.0049	0.760	−0.0111 to 0.0081
Dummy variable = 1 if price received > average price	Nearest neighbor matching (Mahalanobis distance)	−0.0210	0.0505	0.677	−0.1201 to 0.0780
	Propensity score matching (nn(2))	−0.0656	0.0475	0.167	−0.1588 to 0.0274
	Propensity score matching (nn(2) with caliper)	−0.0045	0.0441	0.303	−0.1320 to 0.0410
