Therefore, our analysis focuses exclusively on the first stage above and the results contribute to shed some light only on the effect of the NHIS participation on out-of-pocket expenditure at the extensive margin (see Table 4).
On the contrary, we find that, once the issue of self-selection is taken into account, the NHIS enrollment does not have a significant effect on out-of-pocket expenditure at the extensive margin.
We also know the health insurance status of the woman (i.e., whether she was enrolled in the NHIS) and are able to estimate the effect of being enrolled in the NHIS on antenatal care, delivery care and out-of pocket expenditure at the extensive margin.
In particular, we try to answer the questions as to whether the introduction of the NHIS: i) increased the utilization of antenatal care (in terms of visits performed by a trained person); ii) increased the utilization of delivery care (in terms of delivery in health facility and delivery assisted by a trained person); iii) affected the out of pocket expenditure at the extensive margin.

Australian farming is a business of high expenditures and narrow margins, and Mr. Schulz said he expected many in Grantham would give up.
That price target was set prior to the takeover bid and factored in ATI's gross margin leverage, capital expenditure strength, a competitive product lineup and the launch of Microsoft Windows' new operating system, Vista, which would be a "net positive" for graphics-chips vendors.

Logged total profit margin and operating expenditure were the dependent variables.
