  1. Notes: WHIP dataset. OLS estimates are reported. Model 1: only firms below 35 employees; Model 2: only firms below 50 employees; Model 3: only firms below 250 employees. Further controls are the same used in Table 2. Standard errors are allowed for within provincial correlation. The symbols ***, **, * indicate that coefficients are statistically significant, respectively, at the 1, 5, and 10 percent level.
