Description

Definition

RZ is the measure of external dependence. The measure of external finance dependence is based on data of listed US companies provided in Compustat and obtained from Rajan and Zingales (1998). They compute the proxy as a fraction of capital expenditures that an industry is not able to finance with internal funds. To construct it they first compute the median of all firms in each sector and year and then they average the sectoral measures over the entire period of 1980-89.
