Notes: (i) USA, CAN, GBR, FRA, DEU, ITA and JPN are abbreviations for
the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan respectively; (ii) * and **
indicates a significant t-test at the 1 and 5% levels respectively; (iii) the t-tests are
calculated using heteroscedastic consistent standard errors; (iv) all t-tests are based
on the null hypothesis of the estimated parameter being equal to zero (except for ρ
which tests away from a null of unity); (v) in M3 and M4 the parameter ρ is restricted
to unity and one-third respectively.
