Panel data approach used to examine the impact of environmental accounting (environmental accounting disclosures and costs reporting) on corporate performance (return on equity, net profit margin, dividends per share, and earnings per share) controlled by auditor type, firm size, board size, number of years listed in PSE, and location.
