Abstract
Examining the staggered adoption of universal demand (UD) laws as an exogenous shock to shareholder litigation risk, we show that firms have lower stock returns following that adoption in a difference-in-differences (DID) design and Fama and MacBeth (1973) regression. Sorting stocks into UD laws portfolios, we show that firms adopting UD laws earn lower risk-adjusted returns than those who do not. Further, the relation between UD laws and returns is more pronounced when firms face financial constraints, CEOs engage in high risk taking, or takeover protection is low.
我们将交错采用普遍需求法（UD）作为对股东诉讼风险的外生冲击进行了研究，结果表明，采用差分法（DID）设计和法玛与麦克白（1973）回归法后，企业的股票回报率较低。我们将股票分为 UD 法律组合，结果表明，采用 UD 法律的公司的风险调整回报率低于未采用 UD 法律的公司。此外，当公司面临财务限制、首席执行官承担高风险或收购保护较低时，UD 法律与回报率之间的关系更为明显。
