Note(s): The dependent variable is return of REITs. In this model, ESG rating data are transformed into monthly data, resulting in two different analyses, assuming that the score assigned at year t remains the same each month of the year. The market factor is calculated as the difference between MKT and the risk free rate. Figures in parentheses show standard error. The subcomponents column represents the regression where all the three ESG pillars are analyzed together. Signs ***, **, * represent significant level at 1, 5, 10% respectively
