1.
Plant age for younger plants are for those plants that came into existence after 1961. Plant age for older plants are for plants that came into existence in or before 1961. Since there is no information on the exact age of this group because the database starts in 1961, their age is coded starting in 1961.
2.
Binary variable to capture related or unrelated merger/acquisition. It takes on value of 1 if the acquired plant is owned by a firm whose primary activity is in another industry, and 0 otherwise.
Note(s):
P=Positive; N=Negative; S=Significant; NS=Non-significant at 10%.
