  1. Estimation is based on LATE random-effects models. Standard errors are in parentheses. ***, **, and * signify statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level, respectively. All training dummy is instrumented by invitation result. Hometown dummy is instrumented by invitation for training in hometown. Intra-island dummy is instrumented by invitation for intra-island training. Inter-island dummy is instrumented by invitation for inter-island training
