1 Periods: Entire (January 1990-December 1998), pre-APBS (January 1990 - April 1995) and APBS (May 1995 - December 1998) periods. 2Averages are
calculated based on real prices and are in LCU/MT. The standard deviations are calculated based on the residuals of a time trend-seasonal linear regression. The
coefficient of variation is the ratio of the standard deviation of residuals and average prices. 3The t and F values correspond to the tests of mean and variance
equality, respectively. Further explanation in the text.
***significant at the 1% level; "significant at the 5% level; *significant at the 10% level; ns, not
significant.
