  1. This table provides the estimation of Eq. (18) using pooled regressions accounting for the interaction between strategies’ innovations (SUR, i.e., seemingly unrelated regressions, Zellner 1962). Eq. (18) is estimated over the whole sample period and over our two scenarios described in "Robustness check: response of hedge fund strategies to illiquidity shocks" section. In order to avoid overloading this table, we only report the estimated coefficients associated with IML (Pástor and Stambaugh 2003, 2019) for each strategy. t-statistics are in italics. Shaded coefficients are significant at the 10% level or less
