Earnings elasticity by specification
| Study | Earnings elasticity (coefficient) |
|---|---|
| Azar et al. (OLS) | -0.0378 |
| Azar et al. (IV) | -0.127 |
| Benmelech et al. | -0.054* |
| Rinz | -0.0324 |
* Benmelech et al. is a “log-linear” specification, meaning that its magnitude is not comparable to the log–log specification of the other three coefficients.
