This study applies a multivariate wavelet framework to examine the time-varying relationship between stock market cycles and business cycles in Germany, Japan, the UK, and the USA from 2000 to 2025. Prior to 2020, stock market cycles generally led business cycles at medium- to longterm frequencies. Around 2020, this pattern reversed, indicating a structural shift. Controlling for key interest rates reduces regions of significant coherence during the Global Financial Crisis, but not around 2020, suggesting a diminished role of interest rates in explaining the joint dynamics of stock markets and business cycles in recent years.
本文运用多元小波分析框架,分析了2000 - 2025年德国、日本、英国和美国股市周期与经济周期的时变关系。在2020年之前,股市周期通常以中长期频率引领商业周期。到2020年左右,这种模式发生了逆转,表明了结构性转变。在全球金融危机期间,对关键利率的控制会减少具有显著一致性的区域,但在2020年左右不会,这表明利率在解释近年来股市和商业周期的联合动态方面的作用减弱。

Marginal Expected Shortfall (MES) is widely regarded as a key indicator for systemic risk measurement, as it reflects the vulnerability of individual institutions under market stress. Yet conventional MES estimators may become unstable and highly variable when tail observations are limited or confidence levels are high. To mitigate this issue, a credibility-based estimator is introduced, where empirical tail information is combined with prior knowledge through an optimally determined weighting scheme. The resulting closed-form expression improves numerical stability and reduces variance while avoiding posterior simulation. Monte Carlo experiments with lower-tail-dependent copulas confirm its convergence and show lower sampling variability, particularly in small-sample and high-confidence settings. An empirical application to the CSI 300 index and five A-share stocks further demonstrates its ability to capture cross-sectoral heterogeneity in systemic risk, with a data-driven calibration of prior information enhancing practical relevance for regulators and risk managers.
边际预期缺口(Marginal Expected short, MES)被广泛认为是衡量系统性风险的关键指标,因为它反映了单个机构在市场压力下的脆弱性。然而,当尾部观测有限或置信水平很高时,传统的MES估计可能变得不稳定和高度可变。为了缓解这一问题,引入了基于可信度的估计器,其中经验尾部信息通过最优确定的加权方案与先验知识相结合。所得到的封闭形式表达式提高了数值稳定性,减少了方差,同时避免了后验模拟。蒙特卡罗实验与低尾相关的copula证实了它的收敛性,并显示出较低的抽样可变性,特别是在小样本和高置信度的设置。对沪深300指数和5只a股股票的实证应用进一步证明,该方法能够捕捉系统性风险的跨部门异质性,并通过数据驱动的先验信息校准增强了监管机构和风险管理者的实际相关性。

This paper examines the impact of patient capital investment on alleviating the financing constraints of upstream and downstream firms in the supply chain. The findings reveal that patient capital investment generates a positive spillover effect within the supply chain, alleviating the financing constraints of core suppliers and customers. This spillover effect is more pronounced when the interdependency between supply chain firms is stronger and when the financing capacity of these key partners is weaker. Mechanism analysis indicates that patient capital operates through two channels: capital cost effect (improving accounts receivable turnover efficiency of suppliers) and credit expansion effect (increasing the proportion of credit loans for customers). Further analysis shows that this supply chain spillover effect significantly enhances the investment efficiency and innovation level of major suppliers and customers. The findings provide theoretical and empirical insights for policies aimed at fostering patient capital, promoting industrial and supply chain optimization and upgrading, and building a modern industrial system.
本文考察了耐心资本投资对缓解供应链上下游企业融资约束的影响。研究发现,耐心资本投资在供应链内部产生正向溢出效应,缓解了核心供应商和客户的融资约束。当供应链企业之间的相互依赖性较强,而这些关键合作伙伴的融资能力较弱时,这种溢出效应更为明显。机制分析表明,患者资本通过资金成本效应(提高供应商应收账款周转效率)和信用扩张效应(提高客户信用贷款比例)两个渠道运行。进一步分析表明,这种供应链溢出效应显著提高了主要供应商和客户的投资效率和创新水平。研究结果为培育耐心资本、促进产业和供应链优化升级、构建现代产业体系提供了理论和实证启示。

In the context of accelerating climate change, climate transition risk has emerged as a critical determinant of energy firms’ asset values. Drawing on a panel dataset of Chinese A-share listed energy companies from 2009 to 2023, combined with a climate transition risk index, this study first confirms that climate transition risk significantly increases the level of stranded assets, whereas the effect exhibits pronounced industry heterogeneity, with coal firms the most severely affected, followed by oil and gas, and then powever generation firms. Second, the results show that energy firms can mitigate these impacts by engaging in green finance, technological advancements, and other sustainable measures. These results underscore the need for the energy sector to adopt active strategies against climate shocks. Furthermore, this paper demonstrates that effective strategies can turn risk into resilience and secure long-term sustainability.
在气候变化加速的背景下,气候转型风险已成为能源公司资产价值的关键决定因素。利用2009 - 2023年中国a股上市能源公司面板数据集,结合气候转型风险指数,本研究首先证实了气候转型风险显著提高了搁浅资产水平,而这种影响表现出明显的行业异质性,煤炭企业受影响最严重,其次是石油和天然气企业,其次是发电企业。其次,研究结果表明,能源企业可以通过参与绿色金融、技术进步和其他可持续措施来缓解这些影响。这些结果强调了能源部门采取积极应对气候冲击战略的必要性。此外,本文还证明了有效的策略可以将风险转化为弹性,并确保长期可持续性。

Digital finance has profoundly altered household financial vulnerability by reshaping the channels and capabilities of household financial resource allocation and access through digital means. Using China Family Panel Studies and Digital Inclusive Finance Index data spanning 2012 to 2022, we find digital finance alleviates household financial vulnerability via wealth enhancement on assets and liquidity constraint relief on liabilities. This finding provides a new perspective on changes in household financial decision-making in the context of digital finance development, offering insights for more effectively utilizing digital financial tools to reduce household financial vulnerability and for informing policy improvements.

This paper investigates the impact of geopolitical risk on market openness across 23 high-income and 19 middle-income economies from 1998 to 2023. The findings reveal that geopolitical risk enhances market openness in high-income economies but hinders it in middle-income economies. Economic growth and governance consistently promote market openness, whereas foreign direct investment is more effective in middle-income countries. These findings highlight the importance of institutional reforms and tailored policies to attract foreign direct investment and stabilise markets, thereby mitigating the effects of geopolitical risk on market openness. In addition, the findings point toward policy implications for bolstering resilience and openness.

Cybersecurity risk has become a material concern for firms, regulators, and auditors, yet credible ex-ante indicators of cyber vulnerability remain difficult to observe. This paper examines whether firms’ cybersecurity disclosures in 10-K filings convey forward-looking information about future cyber incidents and whether auditors incorporate such information into audit pricing and engagement decisions. Using a cosine-similarity measure that captures how closely a firm’s cybersecurity risk disclosures resemble those of firms that recently experienced cyber-attacks, we construct a disclosure-based proxy for ex-ante cyber risk. We find that a one-standard-deviation increase in this cosine index is associated with a 0.61-percentage-point increase in the probability of a subsequent cyber incident-approximately a 25% increase relative to the sample mean. We further show that higher disclosure-based cyber risk is associated with significantly higher audit fees (about 4.7%, or USD 130,000) and a greater likelihood of being audited by a Big Four firm. These findings suggest that auditors actively extract and price cyber-risk signals from narrative disclosures, rather than reacting only after cyber incidents occur. More broadly, our results highlight the growing role of mandatory risk disclosures as a forward-looking source of information about firms’ operational vulnerabilities.
网络安全风险已成为企业、监管机构和审计机构的重大担忧,但可信的事前网络脆弱性指标仍然难以观察到。本文考察了公司在10-K文件中的网络安全披露是否传达了有关未来网络事件的前瞻性信息,以及审计师是否将此类信息纳入审计定价和业务决策。使用余弦相似度度量来捕捉公司的网络安全风险披露与最近遭受网络攻击的公司的网络安全风险披露的接近程度,我们构建了一个基于披露的事前网络风险代理。我们发现,余弦指数每增加一个标准差,随后发生网络事件的概率就会增加0.61个百分点——相对于样本均值,大约增加25%。我们进一步表明,更高的基于披露的网络风险与更高的审计费用(约4.7%,或13万美元)和更大的被四大会计师事务所审计的可能性相关。这些发现表明,审计师积极地从叙述性披露中提取和定价网络风险信号,而不是在网络事件发生后才做出反应。更广泛地说,我们的研究结果强调了强制性风险披露作为企业运营脆弱性前瞻性信息来源的作用日益增强。

Do ESG controversies negatively affect firms’ low-carbon product revenues? This paper investigates how ESG controversies influence firms’ low-carbon product revenues and identifies the underlying mechanism. Drawing on consumer satisfaction research from the marketing literature, it proposes that ESG controversies decrease low-carbon product revenues by reducing consumer satisfaction with the firms involved. Using 1734 firm observations from 374 S&P 500 firms between 2016 and 2021, with data on low-carbon product revenues from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), our analysis provides significant empirical evidence supporting this hypothesis. Moreover, our results indicate that strong ESG performance weakens this negative relationship. Robustness and endogeneity tests further support our findings. This study contributes to the literature on ESG controversies and sustainable consumption and offers insights that help managers enhance the effectiveness of low-carbon product marketing.
ESG争议是否会对企业的低碳产品收入产生负面影响?本文研究了ESG争议如何影响企业的低碳产品收入,并确定了潜在的机制。根据市场营销文献中的消费者满意度研究,它提出ESG争议通过降低消费者对所涉及公司的满意度来减少低碳产品的收入。利用2016年至2021年间来自374家标普500公司的1734家公司的观察结果,以及碳披露项目(CDP)的低碳产品收入数据,我们的分析提供了支持这一假设的重要经验证据。此外,我们的研究结果表明,良好的ESG绩效削弱了这种负相关关系。鲁棒性和内生性检验进一步支持了我们的发现。本研究对有关ESG争议与可持续消费的文献有所贡献,并为管理者提高低碳产品营销的有效性提供了见解。

This study contributes to the literature on ESG controversies and sustainable consumption and offers insights that help managers enhance the effectiveness of low-carbon product marketing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 109497"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145957364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate whether social capital constrains corporate greenwashing, using the historical placement of revolutionary base areas in China as a source of plausibly exogenous variation in local norms. Using data from 2009 to 2023, we find that firms in regions with high social capital exhibit significantly less greenwashing. This effect operates through improved internal governance and external monitoring. The impact of social capital is more pronounced for firms without political connections, firms with strong managerial green awareness, and in heavily polluting and highly concentrated industries. Furthermore, we demonstrate that social capital promotes actual environmental performance. Our findings provide robust evidence that deep-rooted informal institutions are a critical governance mechanism for promoting corporate environmental authenticity.
我们利用中国革命根据地的历史位置作为地方规范中似是而非的外生变化的来源,研究社会资本是否限制了企业的“漂绿”。利用2009 - 2023年的数据,我们发现高社会资本地区企业的“漂绿”现象显著减少。这种效果是通过改进内部治理和外部监督来实现的。社会资本的影响对于没有政治关系的企业、具有较强绿色管理意识的企业以及污染严重和高度集中的行业更为明显。此外,我们证明了社会资本促进了实际的环境绩效。我们的研究结果提供了强有力的证据,证明根深蒂固的非正式制度是促进企业环境真实性的关键治理机制。
