The random effect result shows that all the variables have insignificant positive relationship with return to equity except pension that has insignificant negative relationship. This implies that none of the explanatory variables has significant impact on returns to equity. The overall result which is R- Square reported that the value of 0.0045 and adjusted R-value of -.09315 which indicated the explanatory variables are insignificant to explained the dependent variable. The R-Square value is extremely low indicating that the explanatory variables are not good fit measures for return on equity.
