The table reports the results of OLS models with fixed effects for year and industry for testing Hypotheses (1)-(4), standard errors are clustered by industry. The results reflect the effect of earnings management proxies (accrual-based (AEM) and real-based (REM)) on Tobin's Q variable as well as the moderating effect of CSR disclosure (CSR) and state ownership (STATE) in the above mentioned relationship. The variables are described in  Appendix B. *, ** and *** indicate statistical significance at less than the 10%, 5% and 1% levels, respectively
