**2014**

- [2389416-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-018) [empirical/evidenced] -- Adding a dummy for AUM above $150 million to the linear regressions leaves no variable significant at the 5 percent level in March 2012, and the dummy is significant only in April 2012.
  > We notice that in March 2012, no variable is statistically significant at 5% significance level while in April 2012, the dummy variable is statistically significant.

**2016**

- [2816408-023](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2816408-023) [empirical/evidenced] -- In regressions including a dummy for AUM above $150 million, the dummy is statistically significant and positive only in April and September 2012, and the explanatory power of the models measured by R-squared remains very limited.
  > The dummy variables are statistically significant and positive in April and September 2012. The F-statistics support the validity of the models, while the explanatory power, measured by the R- squared is still very limited.
