Regession includes country specific intercepts and allows for panel specific heteroscedasticity and serial correlation. The PRIV variable is interacted with the level of concentration, the cross-sectional standard deviation and the number of firms. The PRIV variable is defined in two ways: the market capitization of privitizations for the year divided by last year's market capitalization of the country index (December 31); and a discrete 0,1 variable following the dates in Perotti and van Oijen (1998). The Wald test is whether the dividend yield declines from Pre to Post liberalization.
