  1. Robust standard errors clustered by industry-year in brackets. Industry size S defined based on the share of small firms in each industry in 1980 (panel A) and as a dummy indicating small industries in 1980 (panel B). The Stock-Yogo critical values for a 5% and 10% maximal IV relative bias are 11.04 and 7.56 respectively
