  1. This table presents the DiD estimates, \(\hat {\mu _{1}}\) and \(\hat {\mu _{2}}\), of Equation (2). The regulation coefficient shows the differential change in cantonal taxes of municipalities in cantons with regulation compared to municipalities in cantons without regulation regarding lunchtime and after-school care in public schools, controlling for the differences in provision within the treated cantons. The provision coefficient estimates the differential change in cantonal taxes in municipalities which introduce lunchtime and after-school care as a consequence of the new regulation compared to those which do not. In all specifications, population weights are applied to account for the fact that municipalities differ in their population. The numbers in parentheses show the standard errors, clustered at the municipal level. *p <0.10, **p <0.05, ***p <0.01
