Note(s): Table 7 reports the Chair-CEO age dissimilarity and board monitoring intensity (Board meetings). Columns (1), (2), (3), and (6) report the results from the Poisson regression of association between Chair-CEO Age dissimilarity and BMEET. Columns (4), (5), and (7) report the results from the OLS regression of association between Chair-CEO Age dissimilarity and LNBMEET. t-statistics in parentheses. *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01. Robust t-statistics (in parentheses) are based on standard errors clustered by industry and year. All the variables are defined in  Appendix
