  1. This table reports the results from regressing the excess stock returns (RET) on corporate environmental performance (LOGGREEN) and controls with robust standard errors clustered at the firm level. The sample period is March 2014 to November 2021, and the unit of observation is a month. LEVERAGE is the asset-liability ratio; CASHFLOW is the ratio of cash flow to market capitalization; SALESGR is the logarithmic growth rate of sales; RETVOL is the standard deviation of returns over the previous 12 months; TURNVOL is the standard deviation of turnover over the previous 12 months; and R&D is the ratio of R&D expense to market capitalization. All other variables are defined in Table 2. All regressions include year-month fixed effects. Columns (2) and (3) additionally include industry and firm fixed effects, respectively. *, **, and *** denote significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively
