We have verified that PA partially mediates the relationship between the PBC and the EI and PA totally mediates the relationship between the PBC and the EI.

We observe that in manufacturing the firm effect outweighs the industry effect while in services the opposite is the case in a ten-year period.

In the first one, of strong economic growth, the firm effect prevails for both manufacturing and services.
