Note(s): This table presents results on CSR disclosures as a channel through which CSR_COM influences the link between CSR and FP (ROA). Columns 1–3 of Panel A (B) report the effect of the interaction between CSR disclosures and CSR on ROA (ROE). Columns 4–6 report the results for the role of CSR_COM in influencing the joint effect of CSR_CONT and CSR on ROA (ROE) for all three measures of CSR. Moreover, standard errors are adjusted for heteroscedasticity and serial correlation using clustering at the firm level. t-statistics are reported in the parenthesis, whereas the *, ** and *** portray statistical significance at the 10%, 5% and 1% levels, respectively
