Note(s): This table reports descriptive statistics and correlations for the main variables used in the analysis. Panel A presents the time-series averages of monthly cross-sectional summary statistics, including the mean, standard deviation, minimum, 25th percentile, median, 75th percentile, and maximum values. Panel B reports the time-series averages of monthly cross-sectional correlations among variables. The key variable of interest is ST, the salience theory measure constructed from daily returns within each stock-month. Control variables include market capitalization (ME, in units of KRW 100 billion), market beta (BETA), book-to-market ratio (BM), momentum (MOM), Amihud illiquidity (ILLIQ), short-term reversal (REV), maximum daily return (MAX), idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL), and stock price (PRC, in units of KRW thousands). The sample consists of all common stocks listed on KOSPI and KOSDAQ from March 2005 to December 2024
