  1. Notes: All models have the same specification of column (1) in Table 3 except for the measure of technical change. Statistical significance is represented by * for p<0.10, ** for p<0.05, and *** for p<0.01. Standard errors are clustered at the sector-wave level. All models report the marginal effects of logit regressions. Column (3) and column (4) report 21,853 observations because three observations correspond to a nil sector experience. Mean TFP changes are winsorized at the 1-st and 99-th percentiles
