  1. Notes: POM represents the potential-outcome means; OME0 represents the untreated potential-outcome equations; OME1 represents the treated potential-outcome equations; ***, **, * denote significance at 1% level, 5% level, and 10% level. Robust standard errors are presented in parentheses. Test of endogeneity: Ho: treatment and outcome unobservables are uncorrelated, chi2(2) = 11.78, Prob > chi2 = 0.0028.
