Internship at the global level did not appear on web sites in the middle third or bottom third on the Fortune 500 ranking system list. Financial Resources Programs and Tiered Rank Of the ten financial resources programs and levels, five programs produced significantly different results by tiered rank, further supporting Hypothesis 3 (see Table6 ). Economic development at the local level, sponsorship at the local level, and philanthropy at the global, national, and local levels level produced significantly different results by rank.... ..."

Table4 confirms the absence of a strong relation between financial structure and industrial growth patterns across countries. Here we use the indicator of regulatory restrictions on banks, Restrict.... In PAGE 24: ... Also, the interactions of Restrict and both labor-and R amp;D-intensity do not enter significantly. Finally, Restrict is negatively associated with capital allocation efficiency as illustrated in panel B of Table4 . It enters with a p-value of 0....

"... In PAGE 31: ... Process variation is defined as the variation in performance across the eleven individual process performance scores for each bank. The fundamental question addressed in Frei et al (1997) is which is more important for a bank, to do a few things well and, hence, to do other things not so well, or to provide a reasonably consistent set of service delivery processes to the customer? What ultimately matters, occasional excellence or consistency? To address this question, the model from Table 4 was expanded to include process variation, as shown in Table5 . As can be 2 The previous study does not argue that consistently poor performance is a good strategy but rather evidence is presented in terms of an analytical model and empirical data that suggests that if there is an additional resource to be invested in a firm, then the investment should go to improving consistency rather than in moving a single... ..."

Project Impact Ranked along a 5-point scale (ranging from 1 [no impact at all] to 5 [critically important impact], Table1 summarizes how successful applicants rated their project outcomes from a user perspective. Respondents were asked to comment on their internal technical capabilities and/or activities prior to receiving FGDC support versus their post-grant capabilities/activities (i.... ..."

Results Regardless of the dependent variable (the volatility of either private credit or liquid liabilities), all specifications in Table3 provide support for hypotheses one and two. The significant positive coefficient for generosity indicates that relatively generous adopted explicit deposit insurance, the prior volatility measure was calculated over the period just prior to ... In PAGE 34: ... None of the developing countries in our sample satisfy that criterion. The specifications in Table3 provide no support for hypotheses three and four. The insignificant coefficients for the index of weak selection criteria and for the selection/law interaction term indicate that the entry hurdles imposed on member banks have little effect on subsequent volatility, regardless of the quality of regulation and supervision.... In PAGE 38: ... B. Deposit Insurance and Banking Sector Concentration As with the volatility specifications in Table3 , the growth rate specifications in Table 4 indicate that entry hurdles have no significant effect on subsequent financial development. We found it somewhat surprising that the requirements imposed on member banks had no effect on the structure (and, therefore, the subsequent performance) of the sector.... In PAGE 38: ... As a final empirical exercise, we decided to look a bit more closely at the relationships between deposit insurance features, sector concentration, and financial development. In Table3 , concentration is negatively and significantly linked to volatility in all four specifications in which it appears. In Table 6, we present a simple reduced form to better explain concentration.... In PAGE 38: ... Although we are not sure about the channel through which deposit insurance affects the competitive structure of the banking sector, the results in Table 6 might indicate that, regardless of features such as high entry hurdles, the lure of insured deposits eventually leads to less concentration. Those in Table3 indicate that concentration is ... ..."

"... In PAGE 30: ... All variables were transformed into deviations from their firm-level means. The results in Table8 are consistent with the earlier results using the Euler equation specification: firm-level measures of financial health improve with an influx in foreign investment. These results are unaffected by the inclusion of other variables that could be correlated with DFI, including GDP growth and measures of liquidity.... In PAGE 30: ... The coefficient on lagged DFI is the correct sign and statistically significant. Using an entirely different approach, and relying on financial ratios as an indicator of financial health, the results in Table8 provide support for the Euler equation approach. 7.... ..."

Results indicate that community support programs have the most significant presence at the local level, less presence at the national level, and minimal presence at the global level.... ..."

(c) The enterprises switch-over to self- nancing (inter-enterprise arrears were the inter- nal source of nancing for industry as a whole) was forced as the outside nancial support from banks and the budget sharply declined ( Table1 ). The swelling of com- mercial lending was encouraged in 1993{1994 by the expensiveness of bank loans, which was indicated by the interest rates exceeding the rate of return, given the turnover rate (Table 2) [1, 5, 6].... ..."
