Note(s):
Results on constant, industry and year dummies are not reported because of space limitations. Some of the numbers in this table are followed by the letter E, which stands for exponent, a plus sign or a minus sign, and two digits that indicate the power of 10 by which the number is multiplied. This is a way to write numbers that accommodate values too large or too small to be conveniently written in decimal notation.
