Note(s): Panel A: All models are OLS regressions based on Equation (1) and t-statistics in parentheses are based on standard errors clustered by firm. Panel B: reported are the marginal effects of fixing sentiment-adjusted shock to one, adjusted for other covariates in Equation (1). The t-statistics in parentheses are based on clustered standard errors. See the  Appendix Table A1 for variable definitions. Notation: *p < 0.10, **p < 0.05, ***p < 0.01 (two-tailed)
