  1. This table reports the results of the robustness checks of the mediating effect of TRANS, Inter and Green by traditional method. To save space, the coefficients on other control variables (the same as in Table 4) are not reported. All continuous variables are winsorized at 1% and 99%. The T statistics are reported in parentheses.
