Note(s): Table 6 columns 1 to 6 report the results from the OLS regression of the association between Chair–CEO Age Dissimilarity (GAPS & GAPU) and Annual Report Tone (TONEF, TONEF_P & TONEF_S). t-statistics in parentheses. *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 A
