  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 in low- and high-carbon industries. The sample period is March 2014 to November 2021, and the unit of observation is a month. Columns (1) show the results for low-carbon industries, and columns (2) show the results for high-carbon industries. All variables are defined in Table 2. Both regressions include year-month fixed effects. We use seemingly unrelated estimation to test the difference in LOGGREEN coefficients between groups. *, **, and *** denote significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively
