  1. *,**,***: significance levels of 10, 5 and 1% respectively. GDPg GDP growth rate, Public Invt public investment, OLS ordinary least squares. R2 for OLS and Pseudo R2 for quantile regression. Lower quantiles (e.g., Q 0.1) signify nations where financial size is least. na not applicable because corresponding estimates needed for computation are not significant
