  1. This table presents the results of Fama–MacBeth and Tobit regressions or the baseline model (2), where the number of patents is the dependent variable. The definition of all variables is presented in Appendix A. Coefficients for the year and industry dummies are not reported for brevity. N is the number of firm-year observations. ***, ** and * denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels, respectively
