Abstract
This study empirically examines the impact of managerial ability on firm performance. Using the sample of 246 firms listed at Pakistan Stock Exchange during 2009 to 2017, this study finds that more able managers significantly increase the firm performance while less able managers significantly reduce the firm performance. These findings hold for both accounting and market measures of firm performance as well as alternative measures of managerial ability. Further, we control for endogeneity and cross-sectional variation issues using 2SLS and Fama-MacBeth methods, respectively. Overall, we conclude that able managers enhance the firm value, and the effects are stronger in financially constrained firms. This study provides fresh evidence that able managers bring intangible resources in the firms, which positively contribute to the firm performance even in the challenging environment and the weak legal systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
