The test statistic reported after that coefficient is the test of the null hypothesis that there is no difference in effect between these groups. The module is made available under terms of the gpl v3. Here, coeftest performs an ftest for the hypothesis that all regression coefficients except for the intercept are zero versus at least one differs from zero, which essentially is the hypothesis on the model.
