Note: Hazard ratios from Cox proportional hazard models with control variables as in Table 3, plus all interactions of manager race and employee race indicators with an indicator that the manager is new. Robust standard errors in parentheses, adjusted for clustering on employee.
↵‡ Significant at 10 percent;
↵* significant at 5 percent;
↵** significant at 1 percent (based on test that the hazard ratio is different from one). Second column for each set of results reports Wald test of equality for each pair of hazard ratios.
