Notes: The dependent variable in each Probit model is a 0/1 variable. O indicates that the firm did not
receive BL assistance (i.e. controls); 1 indicates that the firm did receive BL assistance (i.e.
actions). Statistically significant variables are denoted as follows: ** denotes variables
significant at the 5 per cent level; * denotes significance at 10 per cent.
