(Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal

One of the theories regarding initial public offering (IPO)
pricing is that the initial return y (change from offer to
open price) on an IPO depends on the price revision x
(change from pre-offer to offer price). Another factor that may
influence the initial return is whether or not it is a high-tech
firm. The following table shows a portion of the data on 264 IPO
firms from January 2001 through September 2004; the entire data
set, can be found on the excel link.
