Thanks. The last 4 columns (group_d; group_f; nongroup_d; nongroup_f)
are the final output variables. Their definitions are below the table.

1. group_d = 1 when both firm_id and nation_id are same for two or
more observations with the same contract id
2. group_f = 1 when firm_id is same but nation_id is different for
two or more observations with the same contract id
3. nongroup_d = 1 when firm_id is different but nation_id is same for
two or more observations with the same contract id
4 .nongroup_f = 1 when both firm_id and nation_id are different for
two or more observations with the same contract id
