Note(s): Table 1 presents the correlation matrix and summary statistics. Panel A reports the Pearson correlation matrix. *** represents that the p-value is smaller than 0.01, ** represents that the p-value is smaller than 0.05, and * represents that the p-value is smaller than 0.1. Panel B presents the descriptive statistics of our main variables. See Appendix A for variable definitions
