Note(s):

This table reports Chair–CEO age dissimilarity and IE (Richardson model). Columns (1) and (2) report the results from the OLS regression of the association between Chair–CEO age dissimilarity (GAPS and GAPU) and IE. Columns (3) and (4) report the results from the Logit regression of the association between Chair–CEO age dissimilarity (GAPS and GAPU) and IED. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. Robust t-statistics (in parentheses) are based on standard errors clustered by firm and year. All the variables are defined in  Appendix
