Note(s): 1. Significant at 1% (***), 5% (**) or 10% (*)

2. Model 0 shows only control variables and industry dummies. Model 1 shows control variables, industry dummies and the variable FBoD. Model 2 shows control variables, industry dummies and the variable FBoD 1st generation. Model 3 shows control variables, industry dummies and the independent variables FBoD 1st generation and FBoD 2nd generation. Model 4 shows control variables, industry dummies and the independent variables FBoD 1st generation, FBoD 2nd generation and FBoD 3rd or later generations

3. The reported findings are from the xtnbreg Stata command
