Note(s):***p < 0.01; **p < 0.05; *p < 0.10. This table presents the results of testing the effect of management on the market reaction around earnings announcements (Earnings Coefficient Response). This effect can be seen from the interaction between unexpected earnings and earnings management (SqES*EM) on CAR. T-statistics are based on robust standard errors
