  1. Note: The dependent variable is the log of suicide and the suicide rate, for total population, male and female subsamples. All specifications include the estimate of a constant coefficient, not presented in this table for reasons of parsimony. Heteroskedastic-consistent standard errors are used for all inference, ***, ** and * denote significant coefficients, respectively at the 1, 5 and 10% confidence levels.
