Geographic Links and Predictable Returns 地理联系和可预测的回报
Zuben Jin, F. Li
Using detailed information about establishments owned by U.S. public firms, we construct a novel measure of geographic linkage between firms. We show that the returns of geography-linked firms have strong predictive power for focal firm returns and fundamentals. A long-short strategy based on this effect yields monthly value-weighted alpha of approximately 60 basis points. This effect is distinct from other cross-firm return predictability and is not easily attributable to risk-based explanations. It is more pronounced for focal firms that receive lower investor attention, are more costly to arbitrage, and during high sentiment periods. In addition, we find sell-side analysts similarly underreact, as their forecast revisions of geography-linked firms predict their future revisions of focal firms. Using natural disasters as localized shocks, we provide evidence that the lead-lag relation results from shock spillover among geographic peers in addition to their common exposure to the regional economy.
利用美国上市公司所拥有的机构的详细信息,我们构建了一个新的衡量公司之间地理联系的方法。研究表明,地域关联公司的收益对焦点公司收益和基本面具有较强的预测能力。基于这种效应的多空策略每月价值加权alpha值约为60个基点。这种效应不同于其他跨公司回报的可预测性,不容易归因于基于风险的解释。在投资者关注度较低、套利成本较高以及情绪高涨的重点公司中,这种情况更为明显。此外,我们发现卖方分析师同样反应不足,因为他们对地理关联公司的预测修正预测了他们对焦点公司的未来修正。利用自然灾害作为局部冲击,我们提供了证据表明,除了它们对区域经济的共同敞口之外,地理对等体之间的冲击溢出也导致了这种领先滞后关系。

Return Cross-Predictability in Firms with Similar Employee Satisfaction 具有相似员工满意度的公司的回报交叉可预测性
Xueying Bian, Ran Chang, Sergei Sarkissian, Jun Tu
This paper uses Glassdoor data and finds that the returns of similar employee satisfaction (SES) firms predict focal firm returns. A long-short portfolio sorted on the lagged returns of SES firms yields the Fama-French six-factor alpha of 135 bps per month. The observed predictability holds also in multivariate estimations, is distinct from industry and all existing inter-firm momentum effects, and cannot be explained by risk-based arguments or replicated with ESG scores or other firm characteristics. A new mechanism – common decision-making on employee welfare policies resulting from various information transfer channels – is the primary reason of return predictability in these firms.
本文使用Glassdoor数据,发现相似员工满意度(SES)公司的回报预测焦点公司的回报。根据SES公司的滞后回报排序的多空投资组合,每月的法玛-弗朗奇六因子alpha值为135个基点。观察到的可预测性也适用于多变量估计,不同于行业和所有现有的企业间动量效应,不能用基于风险的论点来解释,也不能用ESG分数或其他企业特征来复制。不同信息传递渠道导致的员工福利政策共同决策机制是这些企业回报可预测性的主要原因。

Impacts of Distributional Social Comparison Behavior on Corporate Social Responsibility: Power of the Small 分配性社会比较行为对企业社会责任的影响:小的力量
Mingzheng Wang, Zizhuo Wang, X. Fang, Ying‐ju Chen
Motivated by the emergence of various corporate social responsibility (CSR) rankings and awards, we study the impacts of distributional social comparison behavior of firms on CSR in a supply chain, consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. Both the manufacturer and the retailer can choose to make CSR investment, which attracts CSR-concerned consumers. We consider two types of social comparison behavior: ahead seeking that makes one willing to overperform relative to others, and ahead averse that results in underperforming. We find that if the retailer is a large enterprise who has strong negotiation power in the supply chain, his ahead-seeking behavior cannot motivate the up-tier manufacturer to increase CSR investment. In contrast, if the retailer is small, his ahead-seeking behavior can lead to significant increase in the manufacturer’s CSR investment. This is because the increased market share achieved by the small ahead-seeking retailer makes it profitable for the manufacturer to increase CSR investment. Interestingly, the total CSR investment of the supply chain is also higher with the small ahead-seeking retailer than that with the large ahead-seeking retailer. On the other hand, the ahead-averse behavior of the retailer increases the manufacturer’s CSR investment if the retailer is large, whereas it reduces the manufacturer’s investment if the retailer is small. While many contemporary CSR rankings and awards are for large firms in practice, our results suggest that governments and NGOs should pay more attention to small firms, motivating their ahead-seeking behavior or deterring ahead-averse behavior through rankings and awards. Measures to promote consumers’ social consciousness are also helpful to leverage the benefit of ahead-seeking behavior or to offset the negative effect of ahead-averse behavior.
在各种企业社会责任排名和奖励的激励下,我们研究了由一个制造商和一个零售商组成的供应链中企业分配社会比较行为对企业社会责任的影响。制造商和零售商都可以选择企业社会责任投资,这吸引了关注企业社会责任的消费者。我们考虑了两种类型的社会比较行为:超前寻求,使一个人愿意比别人表现得更好,以及超前厌恶,导致表现不佳。我们发现,当零售商是一个在供应链中具有较强谈判能力的大型企业时,其追求前瞻的行为不能激励上层制造商增加企业社会责任投资。相反,当零售商规模较小时,其超前寻求行为会导致制造商的企业社会责任投资显著增加。这是因为小的寻求领先的零售商所获得的市场份额的增加使得制造商增加CSR投资是有利可图的。有趣的是,供应链的企业社会责任总投资,小的追求超前的零售商也比大的追求超前的零售商要高。另一方面,当零售商规模较大时,零售商的提前厌恶行为增加了制造商的企业社会责任投资;当零售商规模较小时,零售商的提前厌恶行为减少了制造商的企业社会责任投资。当前的企业社会责任排名和奖励在实践中大多是针对大企业的,但我们的研究结果表明,政府和非政府组织应该更多地关注小企业,通过排名和奖励来激励它们的前向行为或阻止它们的前向行为。提高消费者社会意识的措施也有助于利用前求行为的利益或抵消前避行为的负面影响。

Option Implied Volatility, Skewness, and Kurtosis and the Cross-Section of Expected Stock Returns 期权隐含波动率、偏度和峰度与股票预期收益的横截面
Turan G. Bali, Jianfeng Hu, Scott Murray
Motivated by the nature of asset pricing models, we investigate the cross-sectional relation between the market's ex-ante view of a stock's risk and the stock's ex-ante expected return. We demonstrate that an ex-ante measure of expected returns based on analyst price targets is highly related to the market's required rate of return. Using this measure, we show that ex-ante measures of volatility, skewness, and kurtosis derived from option prices are positively related to ex-ante expected returns. We then decompose the risk measures into systematic and unsystematic components and find that while expected returns are related to both systematic and unsystematic variance risk, only the unsystematic components of skewness and kurtosis are important for explaining the cross-section of expected stock returns. The results are consistent using two different approaches to measuring ex-ante risk and robust to controls for other variables related to stock returns and analyst bias.
基于资产定价模型的本质,我们研究了市场对股票风险的事前预期与股票事前预期收益之间的横断面关系。我们证明了基于分析师价格目标的预期回报的事前度量与市场所需的回报率高度相关。使用这一措施,我们表明,波动率,偏度和峰度的事前度量源自期权价格是正相关的事前预期收益。然后,我们将风险度量分解为系统和非系统组件,并发现虽然预期收益与系统和非系统方差风险相关,但只有偏度和峰度的非系统组件对于解释预期股票收益的横截面很重要。结果是一致的,使用两种不同的方法来衡量事前风险,并对与股票回报和分析师偏见相关的其他变量进行稳健控制。

Has Local Informational Advantage Disappeared? 地方信息优势消失了吗?
Gennaro Bernile, Alok Kumar, Johan Sulaeman, Qin Emma Wang
This study examines how changes in the information environment affect the informational advantage of geographically proximate agents. We find that the long-term advantage of local agents disappeared at the turn of the millennium. This is accompanied by the reduction in local bias of institutional investors and equity analysts. However, institutional investors continue to trade local stocks disproportionately more often than nonlocal stocks; moreover, their local trades outperform nonlocal trades in the short term -- even for large and liquid stocks. Our results are consistent with improvements in the information environment shortening the horizon of geographic proximity-based informational advantage.
本研究考察了信息环境的变化如何影响地理上邻近代理人的信息优势。我们发现,当地代理商的长期优势在世纪之交消失了。与此同时,机构投资者和股票分析师的本地偏见也在减少。然而,机构投资者继续以不成比例的比例交易本地股票,而非本地股票;此外,他们的本地交易在短期内表现优于非本地交易——即使是大型流动性股票也是如此。我们的研究结果与信息环境的改善,缩短了地理邻近性信息优势的范围是一致的。

Bayesian Analysis of Bubbles in Asset Prices 资产价格泡沫的贝叶斯分析
Andras Fulop, Jun Yu
We develop a new model where the dynamic structure of the asset price, after the fundamental value is removed, is subject to two different regimes. One regime reflects the normal period where the asset price divided by the dividend is assumed to follow a mean-reverting process around a stochastic long run mean. The second regime reflects the bubble period with explosive behavior. Stochastic switches between two regimes and non-constant probabilities of exit from the bubble regime are both allowed. A Bayesian learning approach is employed to jointly estimate the latent states and the model parameters in real time. An important feature of our Bayesian method is that we are able to deal with parameter uncertainty and at the same time, to learn about the states and the parameters sequentially, allowing for real time model analysis. This feature is particularly useful for market surveillance. Analysis using simulated data reveals that our method has good power properties for detecting bubbles. Empirical analysis using price-dividend ratios of S&P500 highlights the advantages of our method.
我们开发了一个新的模型,其中资产价格的动态结构,在基本价值被移除后,受制于两种不同的制度。一种制度反映了正常时期,在这个时期,假设资产价格除以股息遵循一个随机长期均值的均值回归过程。第二种形态反映了泡沫时期的爆发行为。两种状态之间的随机切换和从泡沫状态退出的非恒定概率都是允许的。采用贝叶斯学习方法实时联合估计潜在状态和模型参数。我们的贝叶斯方法的一个重要特点是,我们能够处理参数的不确定性,同时,了解状态和参数顺序,允许实时模型分析。这一特性对市场监督特别有用。模拟数据分析表明,该方法对气泡检测具有良好的功率性能。利用标准普尔500指数的市盈率进行实证分析,可以看出本文方法的优越性。

Cross-Border Acquisitions and Employee-Engagement 跨国收购与员工敬业度
Hao Liang, L. Renneboog, C. Vansteenkiste
We provide novel evidence that a firm’s engagement in employee-related issues explains part of the value difference between its domestic and cross-border takeovers. An acquirer’s investment in employee relations is positively related to the firm’s performance when acquiring domestically, but labor-related frictions reverse this effect when acquiring a foreign target. The results cannot be explained by country-level labor regulation but are consistent with the notion that labor-related frictions exist that prohibit firms from efficiently transforming monetary incentives in higher shareholder value when acquiring a foreign target firm.
我们提供了新的证据,证明公司对员工相关问题的参与解释了其国内收购和跨境收购之间的部分价值差异。在国内收购时,收购者在员工关系上的投资与公司的绩效呈正相关,但在收购外国目标时,与劳动力相关的摩擦逆转了这种效应。这一结果不能用国家层面的劳动法规来解释,但与劳动相关的摩擦的存在是一致的,这种摩擦禁止企业在收购外国目标公司时有效地将货币激励转化为更高的股东价值。

Board Diversity, Firm Risk, and Corporate Policies 董事会多元化、公司风险和公司政策
Gennaro Bernile, Vineet Bhagwat, Scott E. Yonker
We examine the effects of diversity in the board of directors on corporate policies and risk. Using a multidimensional measure, we find that greater board diversity leads to lower volatility and better performance. The lower risk levels are largely due to diverse boards adopting more persistent and less risky financial policies. However, consistent with diversity fostering more efficient (real) risk-taking, firms with greater board diversity also invest persistently more in research and development (R&D) and have more efficient innovation processes. Instrumental variable tests that exploit exogenous variation in firm access to the supply of diverse nonlocal directors indicate that these relations are causal.
我们考察了董事会多元化对公司政策和风险的影响。使用多维度测量,我们发现更大的董事会多样性导致更低的波动性和更好的绩效。较低的风险水平主要是由于多元化的董事会采取了更持久、风险更低的财务政策。然而,与多元化促进更有效的(真正的)风险承担一致,董事会多元化程度更高的公司也会持续更多地投资于研发(R&D),并拥有更有效的创新流程。工具变量检验利用企业获得各种非本地董事供应的外生变化表明,这些关系是因果关系。

Is Cash-Return Relation Risk Induced? 现金收益关系是否存在风险?
Chenxin Liu
Palazzo [2012] finds a positive relation between cash holdings and stock return and attributes this to the association between cash and systematic risk with respect to growth options. In this paper, I try to test whether the relation between cash and return is driven by systematic risk that captured by cash. The empirical results do not support the risk explanation of cash-return relation. First, the loadings on CASH factor cannot predict returns, which is not consistent with rational frictionless asset pricing models. Second, CASH factor cannot reflect future GDP growth. Third, CASH and its factor loadings exhibit no association with implied cost of capital derived from analysts’ earnings forecasts. Overall, this paper casts doubt on the argument that cash can serve as a proxy of systematic risk in the explanation of cross sectional variation in stock returns.
Palazzo[2012]发现现金持有量与股票收益之间存在正相关关系,并将其归因于现金与成长期权方面的系统风险之间的关联。在本文中,我试图检验现金与收益之间的关系是否由现金捕获的系统风险驱动。实证结果不支持现金收益关系的风险解释。首先,现金因子的负荷不能预测收益,这与理性无摩擦资产定价模型不一致。第二,现金因素不能反映未来GDP增长。第三,现金及其因子负荷与分析师收益预测得出的隐含资本成本没有关联。总体而言,本文对现金可以作为系统风险的代理来解释股票收益横截面变化的观点提出了质疑。

Accounting Quality and Debt Concentration 会计质量与债务集中
Ningzhong Li, Yun Lou, Clemens A. Otto, Regina Wittenberg-Moerman
We examine the relation between accounting quality and debt concentration in corporate capital structures (i.e., firms' tendency to rely predominantly on only a few types of debt). Motivated by theoretical and empirical research that supports a strong link between debt concentration and creditors' coordination costs and the importance of accounting quality in reducing these costs, we hypothesize that firms with higher accounting quality have less concentrated debt structures. Measuring accounting quality with a comprehensive index based on the occurrence of material internal control weaknesses, accounting restatements, SEC AAERs, and firms' reliance on small auditors, we find that higher accounting quality is indeed associated with less concentrated debt structures. This relation is stronger for firms with higher default risk, as the probability that creditors need to coordinate is higher, and for firms with lower liquidation values, as creditor coordination to avoid liquidation is more important.

我们研究了会计质量与公司资本结构中的债务集中度之间的关系(即,公司倾向于主要依赖少数类型的债务)。理论和实证研究支持债务集中度与债权人协调成本之间的紧密联系,以及会计质量在降低这些成本方面的重要性,因此我们假设会计质量较高的企业债务结构集中度较低。通过基于重大内部控制缺陷的发生、会计重述、SEC aers和公司对小型审计师的依赖的综合指标来衡量会计质量,我们发现较高的会计质量确实与较不集中的债务结构相关。对于违约风险高的企业,这种关系更强,因为债权人需要协调的概率更高;对于清算价值低的企业,这种关系更强,因为债权人协调以避免清算更重要。数据可用性:数据可从文本中引用的公共来源获得。JEL分类:M4;G32;G33。

Motivated by theoretical and empirical research that supports a strong link between debt concentration and creditors' coordination costs and the importance of accounting quality in reducing these costs, we hypothesize that firms with higher accounting quality have less concentrated debt structures. Measuring accounting quality with a comprehensive index based on the occurrence of material internal control weaknesses, accounting restatements, SEC AAERs, and firms' reliance on small auditors, we find that higher accounting quality is indeed associated with less concentrated debt structures. This relation is stronger for firms with higher default risk, as the probability that creditors need to coordinate is higher, and for firms with lower liquidation values, as creditor coordination to avoid liquidation is more important.\u0000 Data Availability: Data are available from the public sources cited in the text.\u0000 JEL Classifications: M4; G32; G33.","PeriodicalId":151026,"journal":{"name":"Singapore Management University Lee Kong Chian School of Business Research Paper Series","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115174779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
