Hi, I'm doing a difference-in-difference analysis on how the ESG reform in Hong Kong affected firm value. My study period ranges from 2013-2017 with the shock happening in 2016.
I have performed a univariate difference-in-difference but I'm not sure how to interpret the results.
The code I used was: diff tobinq_w if fisc_year>=2014 & fisc_year<=2017, t( treatment_vol) p( crisis)
treatment_vol is a dummy variable that gets a value of 1 if firms have complied with the reform and crisis is a dummy variable that gets a value of 1 if the years are 2016 and 2017
These are my results

R-square: 0.00
* Means and Standard Errors are estimated by linear regression
**Inference: *** p<0.01; ** p<0.05; * p<0.1
Diff (T-C) is significant for before and after, so does that mean the reform had a positive effect on firm value?
really appreciate any help i can get! Thanks in advance
