  1. Notes: We test H_0 for no time-invariant firm effects (Breusch-Pagan test - BP), no correlation between firm effects and regressors (random vs. fixed (Hausman test – HAUS)), exogeneity (Durbin-Wu-Hausman test - EXO), no overidentifying restrictions (OIR) und weak instruments (Stock-Yogo test - WI). Test statistics are presented in the table, where BP, HAUS, EXO and OIR are χ 2 distributed. WI displays minimum eigenvalue statistics. All test statistics in column WI indicate that the eigenvalue is larger than the critical value at p < 0.05, that H_0 (weak instruments) has to be rejected; ***p < 0.01
