Note: Robust standard errors clustered at the country level are reported in parentheses (***p<0.01, **p<0.05, *p<0.10). All regressions are estimated using ordered probit and controlling for region, sector, IBRD/IDA, CPIA score of project country at approval, change in the CPIA score over project lifetime, original commitment amount of project and the exit year. Sub-sample of projects within exit fiscal year 2004-2016. Specific project groups displayed in the first row consisting of: International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD); International Development Association (IDA); fragile, conflict and violence settings (FCV); upper-middle income countries (UMIC); Equitable Growth, Finance and Institutions (EFI); Human Development (HD); Sustainable Development (SD). (1) Considers only Economic and Sector Work/Analytical and Advisory Services (ESW/ASA) work executed by the same Global Practice (GP) for a given country. (2) Country Groups are not mutually exclusive nor collectively exhaustive, with FCV and UMIC selected only for reference. Designation as FCV is determined by project country being on the WB Harmonized List of Fragile Situations in Fiscal Year of Approval.
