Robust standard errors in parentheses - Time dummies and controls by size and sector included - GMM results are one-step
estimates with heteroskedasticity-consistent standard errors and test statistics - AR1 and AR2 are tests for first order and
second order serial correlation, P-values are reported - Sargan is a test of the overidentifying restrictions for the GMM
estimators, the P-values reported refer to the two-step GMM estimators. *** statistically significant at 99 percent confidence
level; ** statistically significant at 95 percent confidence level; * statistically significant at 90 percent confidence level
