  1. *, **, and *** denote statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively. Robust standard error in brackets. The results of the utest command indicate that the slopes of the regulation effect of NGPA exhibit an initial positive followed by a negative pattern, suggesting an inverted U-shaped relationship. The overall tests for the existence of this inverted U-shape are statistically significant at the 1% and 10% levels, respectively. The findings are robust.
