Notes:

This table reports the results from panel regressions of one-year future excess returns on dividend yields for reputation-established and no-reputation firms. In Panel A, regressions are estimated for RPT5, which includes reputation-established firms for at least five years and NR, which includes no-reputation firms over five years. In Panel B, RPT3 includes reputation-established firms for at least three years and NR includes no-reputation firms over three years. The variables are defined in Table 1. t-statistics are based on standard errors adjusted for the firm-clustering effect and are in parentheses.
