Political connections and firm performance: Further evidence using a generalised quantile regression approach

We investigate the relationship between political connectedness and firm performance employing the generalised quantile regression (GQR) method. We analysed the annual data of 190 Pakistani firms (including politically connected and non-politically connected firms) that were listed on the Pakistan S...
