  1. Note: The table reports the estimates of the linear probability model with standard errors (in parentheses) clustered at cluster level, *p <0.1; **p <0.05; ***p <0.01. All controls were included as reported together with dummy variables for the cluster that individuals were recruited in the 2002 round; coefficients for these are not reported
