  1. This table reports regressions with ΔMout,b as dependent variable. The dataset contains yearly observations. Column 1 displays the baseline regression, whereas columns 2 to 8 display specific robustness checks. Column 1–4 is based on yearly observations from 1980 to 2008 and column 5 to 8 from 1970 to 2016. ***, **, and * denote statistical significance (two-tailed) at the 1%, 5%, and 10% significance level respectively. Standard errors are reported in parentheses. For columns 1, 4, and 8, heteroscedasticity-consistent (Huber-White) standard errors are used. Column 7 displays Newey-West standard errors due to serial correlation. Due to the small number of observations, for columns 2, 3, 5, and 6 we use normal standard errors that are larger than the Huber-White or Newey-West standard errors. To test for serial correlation of the error term, we performed the Box-Ljung test with a lag of 3 (considering the small sample size)
