Notes: Refer to Table 2 for details of industry group codes. The 2-step GMM system estimator in STATA 9 is used
using
FAME data in conjunction with weights; the instrument set includes lagged values of the RHS variables
in the model as well as
ln Ageit and Intangit . Standard errors are obtained using the ‘delta’ method. See

Table 3 for details of estimation of other variables. ***/**/* significant at the 1%/5%/10% level.
