1 in the cell indicates that the column first-order dominates the row at 5% level; similar interpretation for 2 (second-order) and 3 (third-order) dominance. The first (second) parenthesis indicates the lower-bound (upper-bound) of stochastic dominance, at 5% significance level, at given order condition. The lower (upper) bound thresholds are censored at 15% and 70% of the provincial median income respectively.
Z indicates that dominance relation can not be found up to third-order condition. Test of dominance is evaluated at every x value in the sample between 15% and 70% of the provincial median income, where x is equivalent income based on the low-income cutoff equivalence scale and cost-of-living deflator.
