Note(s): 1. The dependent variable is return on assets (ROAit). ROE was also used as dependent variable. Largely, the regression estimates of ROE were found to be consistent with the results of ROA. Therefore, to conserve space the results are not reported. 2. Total assets are used as size measure (Sit). 3. The panel firm size, growth and profitability regression model was also estimated using net sales as alternate size variable. The regression estimates were found to be consistent with the results of total assets. Therefore, to conserve space the results are not reported. 4. Heteroscedasticity-consistent robust standard errors are reported in parentheses. 5. Hausman specification test was conducted for appropriate model selection. For all the cases, the Hausman test p-values were small enough to point to a fixed effects model. 6. Year dummies are included in all the regression models. 7. ***, ** and * denotes significance at 0.001, 0.01 and 0.05 percentage respectively
