For most of our sample, this ratio is less than 15 percent; the list of firms for which it is larger includes most of the American Deposit Receipts (ADR) firms on the New York Stock Exchange and several other firms clearly identifiable as foreign. After deleting these firms from the sample, as a final check we printed a list of the remaining firms with "ADR" or "LTD" in their names.
