top management’s cash-flow share based <strong>on</strong> total cash<br />

compensati<strong>on</strong> (cash ratio, CR) and cash b<strong>on</strong>uses (b<strong>on</strong>us<br />

ratio, BR), respectively. All estimates are based <strong>on</strong><br />

QMLE estimati<strong>on</strong> developed by Papke and Wooldridge<br />

(1996). Explanatory variables are defined in Table 3.2.<br />

All m<strong>on</strong>etary variables are adjusted for inflati<strong>on</strong>. All regressi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

include year and industry dummies. z-values<br />

in parentheses are calculated as coefficient estimates over<br />

robust standard errors. Significance levels of 1, 5 and 10<br />

percent are indicated by ***, **, *, respectively.<br />
