Note: Two asterisks indicate significance at the 5%.

A one percent increase in the use of locally produced inputs increases the probability
that the firm experienced increased employment by 1% and decreases the probability
that the firm experienced increased investments by 2%. Similarly, a one percent
increase in exported product, decreases the probability that the firm experienced
increased sales and/or increase in profit margins by 1%.
