Note(s): This table provides results for the CSR-related controversies as a channel through which CSR_COM influences the link between CSR and FP. Columns 1–3 report the effect of the interaction between CSR-related controversies and CSR on ROA (ROE) in Panel A (B). Columns 4–6 of Panel A(B) 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
