_Notes:_ Results refer to the coefficient (Coef) and standard-error (SE, cluster-adjusted) of the SHI dummy variable. Significant at **5%** and **_10%_** . P-values from two-sided _t_ -tests. SHI impact (%) calculated over the average outcome in the corresponding estimating sub-sample. In the last column, number of shifts refers to the number of transitions between tax-funded and SHI systems in the subsample used to estimate the corresponding coefficients.
