Note(s): This table reports the summary statistics for the variables used in the analyses (Panel A) and the Pearson correlation coefficients among the main variables (Panel B). The Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients are presented in Panel B. Figures in italics are significant at the 5% level. All continuous variables are winsorized at the 1st and 99th percentiles. Variables are defined in  Appendix 2
