Abstract
This study explores the influence of controlling shareholders' stock pledges on the risk of stock price crashes. The findings reveal that controlling shareholders' stock pledges have a positive correlation with the risk of stock price crashes. Specifically, corporations with controlling shareholders who have pledged their stocks are exposed to a higher risk of stock price crashes. However, a strong regulatory environment can mitigate the effect of controlling shareholders' stock pledges on the risk of stock price crashes.
