Abstract

Conventional estimates of the relationship between corporate environmental performance (CEP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) are typically based on simple OLS regression. In this paper, I test whether this relationship holds using median regression analysis that is more robust to the presence of outliers and unobserved firm heterogeneity. Based on panel data for British companies, I find that the relationship between CEP and CFP is stronger when median regression are used.
