Notes: White diagonal standard errors & covariance (d.f. corrected). The t statistics are in parentheses. *, **, *** - statistically
significant at the 10, 5, and 1 per cent. $ The null is that RE estimation is consistent and therefore preferable to fixed effects. The test
statistic is to be compared to a Qui-Square with 8 and 10 degrees of freedom respectively (the variables on External debt were
removed from the estimation above BBB+ because there where few observation points). The p-value is in brackets.
