Note(s): This table presents the results of the instrumental variable regression. In the first stage, we instrument regulatory intensity proxies with the median values of the regulatory intensity proxies for firms in the same state and the median values of the regulatory intensity proxies for firms in the same industry (defined using the three-digit SIC codes) as the focal firm, excluding the focal firm itself, as two instrumental variables. Panel A displays the results. In the second stage, we replace regulatory intensity proxies with their predicted values from the first stage. Panel B displays the results. Refer to Appendix A for detailed variable definitions. We winsorize all continuous variables at the upper and lower 1% of the sample distribution. ***, ** and * indicate significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
