Note(s): This table presents the results of the Lasso selection model for board co-option and acquisition performance. The Lasso model selection method (Panel A) is used to estimate effects for potential independent and control variables to be included in the model. Model 1 uses adaptive Lasso selection model; Model 2 is Lasso selection model with cross-validation method; Model 3 employs plug-in method. Omitted variables by the Lasso selection are denoted as (X). Panel B presents Lasso inference models based on double-selection Lasso regression
