Regression (1), (2), (3), (4), and (8) report the results from the OLS regression of association between Chair-CEO Age dissimilarity and TOBINQ. Regression (5), (6), (7), and (9) report the results of the association between Chair-CEO age dissimilarity and alternative measures of firm performance (MKTBK). Column (10) reports the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF). t-statistics in parentheses. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01.
