Note(s): This table shows the estimated coefficients of the two variables of interest resulting from equation (5) where refers to the binary short-term debt use for Tables 3 and 4, while it is dollar amount of short-term debt for Tables 5 and 6. Column “Current estimates in the paper” repeats the coefficients from previous tables while “New estimates with the same set of variables in all estimations” estimates equation (5) with LASSO selected from the sample of “All Farms” for all the other sub samples. Standard errors in parentheses. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01
