All estimates are weighted estimates, weighted by sampling probability. Coefficients shown are elasticities <strong>of</strong> the<br />

hazard w.r.t. the variable.<br />

*** (**) denote significance at the 1% (5%) level.<br />

998,219 firm-TF34 observations with 12,991 entries (29,435 firms)<br />

Time period is 2002-2009. Sample is all <strong>UK</strong> firms with nonmissing assets<br />

AFT - Accelerated Failure Time models<br />

# Estimates are stratified by industry - each industry has its own baseline hazard.<br />
