  1. Note. This table reports the findings of Investment equation in SOEs and NSOEs for high growth & low growth firms. Arrellano-Bond tests are denoted by AR (1) & AR (2) for serial correlation in residuals. Sargan (p-value) refers to the p-value of Sargan test to check the over-identification of instruments. Values of standard errors are given in parenthesis. Definitions of variables are given in Table 1. ***, **, and * shows the level of significance at 1%, 5%, and 10%
