Note(s): Table 2 presents estimation results of Equation (3) using firm fixed effect model. The dependent variable is DD. Columns 1–3 shows results without the control variables. Columns 4–6 include the control variables. T-statistics are in parentheses. Definitions of all variables are provided in  Appendix. Superscripts ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at 1, 5 and 10% level, respectively
