Notes: Robust standard errors in parentheses. + significant at 10%; * significant at 5%; *t significant at 1%. The sample period is 1970-99.
The dependent variable is the log variance of the growth rate of output per worker, 1970-99. All variables are in natural logs except for Liq.
needs×Private credit∕GDP and Output per worker growth. ‘Liq. needs’ stands for Raddatz (2005),s sector-level measure of liquidity needs,
which is inventories over sales, calculated using COMPUSTAT data. All variables are period averages, except for output per worker which is
the period’s initial value, μc denotes the country fixed effects, μ⅛ denotes the sector fixed effects. All specifications are estimated using OLS.
