ESG performance and corporate risk-taking: Evidence from China

Feng He et al.

Summary: Corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) is crucial for sustainable growth, and the motivation behind corporate ESG engagement determines whether it is genuine or just greenwashing. This study explores the motivation of corporate ESG engagement in terms of risk-taking. Analyzing data from Chinese publicly listed firms between 2010 and 2020, it is found that ESG rating significantly reduces corporate risk-taking, even after considering potential endogeneity concerns. The impact of ESG on risk-taking is more significant in firms with lower information transparency, weaker corporate governance, and less external monitoring pressure, highlighting the trade-off between sustainable growth and risk-taking in a weak investor protection institutional environment.

Retail investor attention and corporate innovation in the big data era

Jing Hao

Summary: This paper explores the role of retail investor attention in corporate governance, specifically in relation to corporate innovation. Using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2011 to 2019, the study finds that retail investor attention significantly promotes corporate innovation. The findings are robust and address potential endogeneity concerns. The study also highlights that retail investor attention has an impact on corporate innovation by alleviating financial constraints and deterring agency costs. Moreover, this impact is more pronounced in firms with higher media and analyst coverage, as well as those with overconfident CEOs. The results provide empirical evidence of the role of individual investors in corporate governance in the current digital era.

Information disclosure source, investors' searching and stock price crash risk

Feng He et al.

Summary: We investigate how various sources of information disclosure impact investors' online searching behavior in the presence of financial market information asymmetry. Analyzing a sample of 2,715 listed firms in the Chinese stock market from 2011 to 2019, we observe that certain information disclosure sources, such as traditional media news, company announcements, and social media news, enhance investors' online search effectiveness, leading to a reduction in stock price crash risks. However, analyst reports do not exhibit a similar moderating effect. These findings hold true even when an alternative measure of stock price crash risk is employed. Our study reveals the moderating effect of different information sources on information asymmetry through online searching behavior of retail investors.

Explaining Viral CSR Message Propagation in Social Media: The Role of Normative Influences

Patrick Hartmann et al.

Summary: The success of CSR initiatives in social media relies on viral message propagation, which is influenced by peers' endorsement in terms of shares, likes, and positive replies.
