Notes: *p < 0.1. CESD_d is the improvement of self-report depression scale between 2012 and 2016. ATT is the average treatment effect on the treated. S.E. is standard error that estimated by bootstrap (with 500 replications). K is the number of neighborhoods for matching; δ is the matching radius; Epan is the kernel function; Bw is the bandwidth
