Summary Statistics for Russia-Protected Areas.

*p**p***pStandard deviations in parentheses. T-tests test for differences in means assuming unequal variances. “Before matching” uses the full sample; “After matching” is based on 1-to-1 propensity score matching without replacement and limiting the maximum distance between matches with a caliper. Normalized differences in means are calculated as recommended by [5]. There is no test for statistical significance associated with normalized differences in means but a rule of thumb is that sizes larger than 0.25 can bias simple ordinary least squares regression.aAfter matching, pre-treatment forest disturbance was “0” for both protected areas and areas outside of protected areas; thus, differences in means could not be calculated.Summary Statistics for Russia-Protected Areas.
