This table reports ordinary-least-squares regression coefficient estimates. The dependent variable is industryadjusted
operating returns to total assets (EBIT/TA) during Year +1, where Year 0 is the year a firm goes IPO.
The sample is 133 Thai firms that go IPO during the period 1987– 1993. Alpha represents the ownership stake (in
percent) held by the original owners after the IPO. Alpha2 and Alpha3 represent the quadratic and cubic forms,
respectively. Coefficients on Alpha2 and Alpha3 are adjusted by 103 and 105, respectively. Firm Age is the
difference between the establishment year and the IPO year, Firm Size is the natural log of total assets, Capital
Expenditure is the change in capital investment from the prior year divided by total assets, Growth is calculated as
the percentage increase of annual sales from the prior year, and Bank Loans is bank debt divided by total assets.
t-statistics are reported in parentheses.
