Domestic single-plant firms by size
Table summary
This table displays the results of models for single-plant firms by size (large and small). The row headers describe the variables used in the models (plant and place characteristics). The column headers identify the estimated model and associated coefficient and p-value alternating across the models. The column header also identifies the difference between the models' coefficients, displayed as the difference itself and related p-value.
