  1. All coefficients are compared to the benchmark category, shown in brackets. aOdds ratio. bA negative intercept-slope covariance estimate implies that regions with above-average enrolment in master programmes tend also to have below-average effects of STEM fields. cVariance partition coefficient: measures the proportion of the total residual variance that is due to between-group variation.
