Note(s): All test statistics and significance levels are computed using standard errors adjusted through a two-dimensional clustering approach at both the firm and year levels (Petersen, 2008). All variables are defined in  Appendix 1. ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1, 5 and 10% confidence levels, respectively
