Note(s): We report the results of the Panel Regression (linear) models of the baseline specification using the profitability measures (ROA and ROE) as the dependent variables. We present the results of the Panel Least Squares (PLS) with fixed effects (cross-section weights (PCSE) standard errors and covariance) and Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) with the coefficient values marked with significance levels in the first row, followed by the standard errors (in parenthesis) in the second row. Asterisks ***, ** and * indicate significance levels at 1, 5 and 10%, respectively
