Agreed. Thanks.
Reading more closely, he mentions two groups, before and after,
so time is involved, but there appears to be only 2 time points.
To use -ranksum-, you'd have to form the differences of before
and after, to get a single value for each firm, and then apply
ranksum.
If you have more than 2 time values per firm, you'll need to use
another approach, that handles multiple time points but that also
focuses on the median.
