  2. Note: Dependent variable was domestic investment (I). Coefficient averages were computed as outlier-robust means. ***, ** and * represent statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively. The common dynamic process was implemented with unit coefficient by subtracting it from the dependent variable
