  1. F test
  2. Chi2(3) = 12.91
  3. p value = 0.000
  4. Explanatory variable: non-executive directors on board (Ln NED)
  5. Models (1)–(4) represent simple pooled OLS results, i.e. common effect
  6. Models (5)–(8) represent fixed/random effect regression based on results of Hausman test stated above
  7. ***, **, * represent 1%, 5% and 10% level of significance, respectively; ns represents not significant
