  1. Notes: ATT = Average Treatment Effect on the Treated. In the above table model 1 & 5 is stratified matching; model 2 & 6 is kernel matching); model 3 & 7 is nearest neighbor matching - random draw version; and model 4 & 8 is inverse probability weighting (IPW) by logistic regression. The standard errors are bootstrapped standard errors (100 reps). Significance levels: ***p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, *p < 0.1
