Abstract
This study investigates whether Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance influences stock idiosyncratic and extreme risks. We find that listed companies’ ESG performance significantly reduces stock idiosyncratic and extreme risks. Furthermore, we find that this mitigating effect is shaped by the nature of enterprise ownership and the firm life cycle. Through an additional mechanistic analysis, we confirm that ESG performance affects the stock price volatility risk of listed companies by reducing the levels of corporate earnings management and bolstering corporate reputation, thereby alleviating both idiosyncratic and extreme risk in stock prices.
期刊介绍：
The focus of the North-American Journal of Economics and Finance is on the economics of integration of goods, services, financial markets, at both regional and global levels with the role of economic policy in that process playing an important role. Both theoretical and empirical papers are welcome. Empirical and policy-related papers that rely on data and the experiences of countries outside North America are also welcome. Papers should offer concrete lessons about the ongoing process of globalization, or policy implications about how governments, domestic or international institutions, can improve the coordination of their activities. Empirical analysis should be capable of replication. Authors of accepted papers will be encouraged to supply data and computer programs.
