  1. Significance codes: ‘***’ = p ≤ 0.001; ‘**’ = p ≤ 0.01; ‘*’ = p ≤ 0.05; ‘.’ = p ≤ 0.1. The years under study: 2004─2019. The number of observations is 238. All models are significant according to the F-test on overall significance in regression analysis, where H0: The fit of the intercept-only model and the assessed model are equal (the model is significant if H0 is rejected). The models are selected by best adjusted coefficient of determination, which amounts from 0.32 to 0.33. ° Supplementary model for (i) testing the robustness of the coefficients to adding other explanatories and (ii) presenting the coefficients that we obtained for other explanatories; we do not interpret this model because it has a potential overfit
