  1. This table presents the regression results of the overall sample in regression (5). Column (1) and (2) respectively shows the regression results of two explanatory variables on dependent variable RD2. Firm fixed effects and year fixed effects are controlled in the regression. The T statistic is in parentheses under the coefficient. *, **, and *** mean statistical significance at 5%, 1%, and 0.1% respectively
