  1. \(SME\) is an indicator variable that is equal to one if the firm's operation revenue was below the threshold of operation revenue. The outcome variable is \(TRC\), which is equal to one if a firm obtains a better access to finance. The discontinuity estimates are based on local linear/quadratic regressions. Standard errors are in the parentheses. *, **, and *** represent statistical significance level at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
