This table reports robust regression estimates of stock crash risk on the news coverage sentiment indicators two stage OLS. Column (1) is the first stage. Columns (2) to (4) are the second stage; year and firm dummy variable are included; all control variables are included as lagged one year. Robust standard errors are reported in parentheses. The labels ∗∗∗, ∗∗, and indicate 1%, 5%, and 10% levels of significance, respectively.
