This table reports the OLS results of the tests on the relationships between PIN and new loan information. It represents the results of the regression: \(PIN_{i,t}=\alpha +\beta _{1}\times Positive\_loan\_information_{i,t}/Loan\_default_{i,t}+\sum \beta _{i}\times Control_{i,t}+\varepsilon _{i,t}\), where PIN is the measure for information asymmetry in the stock market. Variables of new loans in Panel A are New Loan, New Loan Size, and New Tbank. Variables of new overdue loans in Panel B are New OL, New OL rate, New OL Tbank, and New OL Nbank. The control variables in previous tables are included in the regressions, and the t-statistics reported are based on standard errors clustered by firm. Symbols *, **, and *** indicate significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively
