(many missing) I tried each of them in a FE panel regression of the type found in table 3, like: areg tdc116l car5totpub car5totpriv agovresignrequiredonmajorityvote i.year, absorb(ceofirmid) cluster(ceofirmid) In each case, the sample dropped to ~2k (from 41k), and there was no significance for ANY variable.
