95. We also collected data on the respondents’ entrepreneurial and sales/marketing experience but later dropped them from the model because of poor fit with the other observable indicators of human capital.

We also collected data on respondents’ network contacts that were competitors, partners, suppliers, as well as those who were foreigners or worked in the country’s capital or in another geographical region. These measures were later discarded in the analysis for the same reason as in the Note 1: unsatisfactory fit.
