Note(s): This table presents the results of tests on the association between regulatory intensity and Industry-adjusted STRG. We construct Industry-adjusted STRG in the same way as STRG by using industry median adjusted values of strategic variables (R&D intensity, advertising intensity, plant and equipment newness, selling, general, and administrative expenses, inventory levels, and debt-to-equity ratio). Refer to Appendix A for detailed variable definitions. We winsorize all continuous variablesat the upper and lower 1% of the sample distribution. ***, ** and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively.
