Time period is 2000–2014. CIs are shown in parentheses, based on SEs that are clustered by municipality. Data are weighted by the municipality population. Models are estimated in first differences and include state-year fixed effects. Model one presents unadjusted estimates (no covariates). Model two presents adjusted estimates (covariates included).
