Note(s): All models employing pooled panel OLS estimation. Robust standard errors in brackets are clustered by firm and year to address serial correlation and heteroskedasticity. The measurement of the variables is in  Appendix Table A1. *, **, and *** indicate significance levels of 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively
