Notes: The numbers of observations are Kazakhstan = 1109, Macedonia = 928, Moldova = 860, Serbia = 989, Tajikistan = 614, and Ukraine = 1033. Values in brackets are within-community correlation/clustering adjusted standard errors (Wooldridge 2010) (and therefore also (implicitly) robust (Huber 1967; White 1980)).
