Table 2 presents descriptive statistics for the sample under study, while Table 3 presents a correlation matrix for the variables related to the hypotheses.
Based on the descriptive statistics, I note that the distribution of NPO size is heavily skewed (i.e., the mean value is about three times the median value). I further note that NPOs in the sample are quite heterogeneous with respect to reliance upon donations and/or grants (as displayed by the reported values for the 25th and the 75th percentile). Overall, reliance upon financial debt is modest (cf. the mean (median) value of 6.62
14(16.67) percent for FINLEV), but the reported values for the 25th and the 75th percentile clearly indicate heterogeneity among the sample. Based on the correlation matrix, I note that correlations among the ‘grouping’ variables are rather modest.
