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 5 and 7 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.
