  1. This table presents the pooled OLS estimation results for the linear relationship between stock liquidity and firm innovation. The independent variable is CPQS as a liquidity proxy, whereas the dependent variables are INNOV_EXP and INNOV_PAT, respectively. The natural logarithm of R&D expenditures (INNOV_EXP) is used to measure the innovation input, whereas the number of granted patents (INNOV_PAT) is the innovation output. The definition of all variables is provided in Appendix A. For brevity, year and industry dummies are suppressed, and only white and double-clustered adjustments are reported in parentheses. N is the number of firm-year observations. ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
