  1. The dependent variable for the structural equation is reported in parenthesis in the title of each panel. The coefficients are reported in the first column and the standard errors in the second for each model. All coefficients are standardized, meaning that for continuous regressors the coefficients measure how many standard deviations the dependent variable changes when the regressor changes one standard deviation and for dichotomous variables when the variables turn from zero to one. Significance levels *** 1 %, ** 5 % and * 10 %
