  1. Notes:
  2. Robust standard errors in parentheses. OLS(re) is the specification where the sample is restricted to the same number of observations per each outcome variable (columns (d)-(f)).
  3. (Old) is a dummy equal to 1 when the firm has been established at least 10 years before.
  4. EL(Bx, Young) is the elasticity of the outcome variable to the regional location for a “young” firm.
