  1. Note: significance level: *** p<0.01; ** p<0.05; * p<0.1. n/a = not applicable. ua = unattainable. Entry effects are predicted using the estimates reported in Table 4 and are transformed using (eb-1) as suggested by Halvorsen and Palmquist (1980). Standard errors are calculated using the delta method
