Note(s): ***, **, * Indicate statistical significance at the 1, 5 and 10 percent levels, respectively, based on a two-tailed test. t-statistics are in parentheses. Standard errors are two-way clustered by firm and year to correct for cross-sectional and time-series dependence. See Appendix for variable definitions
