  1. Significance codes: ‘***’p ≤ 0.001, ‘**’p ≤ 0.01, ‘*’p ≤ 0.05, ‘.’p ≤ 0.1. Akaike information criterion is used to define the number of lags. Portmanteau test uses 40 lags, according to default setting of Portmanteau test in Stata specification. ARCH test uses 24 lags. ° The rejected normality is considered not problematic if more than 40 observations are employed (see Ghasemi and Zahediasl 2012). °° H0: dependent variable does not Granger-cause explanatory variable. °°°Overall significance in regression analysis; H0: The fit of the intercept-only model and the assessed model are equal
