Entered after decree application is a dummy<br>that takes value 1 when a case entered its assigned chamber after the application of the decree; above median claim is a dummy<br>that takes value 1 when a case’s claim amount is above the median claim amount recorded over the study period. All models<br>include a linear trend - allowed to change after the decree (Interaction), chamber and calendar month fxed efects, and a<br>constant. All models estimated by OLS. Standard errors in parentheses, clustered at the (chamber x hearing of entry) level.<br>Window includes cases entering between 38 and 4 hearings before and between 4 and 21 hearings after decree application.<br>Diference in number of observations compared to Table 3 due to missing claim amounts. Signifcance levels are denoted as<br>follows: * p_<_0.10, ** p_<_0.05, *** p_<_0.01.|
