The standard errors arereported after the ± sign based on 20 replications. The asymptotic value is computed<strong>by</strong> the OLS regression method with 100,000 paths. The “**” sign means two to threestandard errors away from the asymptotic value. The “***” sign means more than threestandard errors away.
