Notes: The table reports descriptive statistics (averages and standard deviations) for the following performance measures: return on assets (ROA), return-on-equity (ROE), return over total sales (ROS), Tobin’s Q and total sales divided by the number of employees (Sales/Employee). We report these descriptive statistics both for all firm-years (Total), as well as for different state ownership categories. For ownership category definitions, see Table II
