This table reports coefficients of the OLS estimation. The dependent variable is ‘Reviewer Score’ as defined in Table S1. All other explanatory variables are also defined in Table S1. The six models include different configurations of explanatory variables to test the sensitivity of the estimation. Columns (2), (4) and (6) report Heckman’s two-step estimated coefficients and corresponding Inverse Mills Ratios. Robust standard errors in parentheses, clustered at programme-level: ***, **, *, indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level, respectively.
