Notes: The table reports results from panel data estimations (a balanced panel) of our performance measures on state ownership, interactions of state ownership and extractive industries, and a set of financial and other control variables using robust and cluster-adjusted estimations of standard errors. Variables are defined in Section 4.2 and Table II. Standard errors are in parentheses the coefficient estimates. All models include time dummies. The number of firm-years is 288. *,**,***Significant at the 10, 5 and 1 percent levels, respectively
