Using a sample of 5718 BSE-listed firm-year observations from 2008 to 2021, we find that increased CSR disclosure (CSRDS) is negatively associated with firm risk. However, the risk-reducing effect of CSRDS is less pronounced in business group firms, with a stronger attenuation in companies managed by affiliated CEOs. Additional analyses indicate that enhanced CSRDS, particularly after the enforcement of mandatory CSR regulations, significantly reduces total and idiosyncratic risk. These findings highlight how mandatory regulatory compliance mitigates specific components of firm risk and offer policymakers, practitioners, and investors insights to navigate risk management within the governance structures of a developing market.
利用2008年至2021年5718家在bse上市公司的年度观察样本,我们发现企业社会责任披露(CSRDS)的增加与企业风险呈负相关。然而,CSRDS降低风险的效果在商业集团公司中不太明显,在关联ceo管理的公司中衰减更强。其他分析表明,加强企业社会责任制度,特别是在强制性企业社会责任法规实施后,显著降低了总风险和特殊风险。这些发现突出了强制性法规遵从如何减轻公司风险的特定组成部分,并为政策制定者、从业者和投资者提供了在发展中市场的治理结构中进行风险管理的见解。

The impact of the recent financial crisis on the financing opportunities and viability of firms has been extensively studied in the literature, with a focus on large, listed corporations. Loss avoidance behavior allows managers to report a more stable income stream, assisting market participants to assess firm prospects. The scope of this study is to examine the impact of loss avoidance and earnings management on the credit financing of small private partnerships within Greece, which is a country that faced a huge backlash on the viability of small businesses. The study collected a sample from 1119 small partnerships which have published abbreviated financial statements over the period 2003–2018. Empirical evidence suggests that firms with higher loss avoidance and discretionary accruals during the sovereign debt crisis period were receiving more credit from their suppliers, a fact that is positively associated with higher viability (lower distress risk). This is the first study in the literature considering loss avoidance behavior and credit financing before and during a debt crisis, within small partnership firms.
最近的金融危机对企业融资机会和生存能力的影响在文献中得到了广泛的研究,重点是大型上市公司。避免损失的行为使管理者能够报告更稳定的收入流,帮助市场参与者评估公司的前景。本研究的范围是研究损失规避和盈余管理对希腊小型私人合伙企业信贷融资的影响,希腊是一个面临小企业生存能力巨大反弹的国家。该研究收集了1119家小型合伙企业的样本,这些企业在2003年至2018年期间发布了简短的财务报表。经验证据表明,在主权债务危机期间,具有较高的损失规避和可自由支配应计利润的公司从供应商那里获得了更多的信贷,这一事实与较高的生存能力(较低的困境风险)呈正相关。这是文献中第一个考虑小型合伙企业债务危机前和危机期间的损失规避行为和信贷融资的研究。

This paper investigates the effect of house price co-movement on inter-city labor migration, leveraging China's unique institutional background. We construct a shift-share instrumental variable (IV) for house price co-movement, using pairwise banking integration as a source of exogenous variation. We find that at household level, house price co-movement facilitates inter-city labor migration, particularly for migrants with a stronger incentive to hedge against housing consumption risk. At city-pair level, house price co-movement also positively affects migration flows. Hence, as housing market interventions become increasingly city-specific, policymakers should take measures to prevent the deterrence of labor mobility.
本文利用中国独特的制度背景,考察房价联动对城市间劳动力迁移的影响。我们构建了一个变动份额工具变量(IV)的房价共同运动,使用两两银行整合作为外生变化的来源。我们发现,在家庭层面上,房价联动促进了城市间劳动力迁移,特别是对于那些对冲住房消费风险的动机更强的农民工。在城市对水平上,房价联动也对移民流动产生积极影响。因此,随着房地产市场干预变得越来越有城市针对性,政策制定者应该采取措施防止阻碍劳动力流动。

We investigate the impact of China's 2014 hukou reform – a major change allowing migrants living in small and medium-sized cities of less than 5 million people to apply for urban residence - on formal and informal borrowing at a time of rapid economic transformation. We find that the hukou policy change has predominantly increased natives' access to finance, especially through informal sources, and for investments in housing. We also find that the policy affects households differently according to education level, with more educated households borrowing more to capitalise on rising asset prices driven by the ‘additional’ urban population created by the policy.
我们调查了中国2014年户籍改革的影响——这是一项重大变革,允许生活在人口不足500万的中小城市的流动人口申请城市户口——在经济快速转型时期对正式和非正式借贷的影响。我们发现,户籍政策的变化主要是增加了本地人获得融资的渠道,尤其是通过非正式渠道,以及住房投资。我们还发现,根据受教育程度的不同,该政策对家庭的影响也不同,受教育程度越高的家庭借贷越多,以利用该政策创造的“额外”城市人口推动的资产价格上涨。

This study examines the potential of growth-mindset financial education to empower low-income married women and increase their labor force participation. In contrast to traditional financial literacy programs, which focus on outcomes that concerns managing existing resources, our approach targets maximizing income opportunities outcomes alongside financial knowledge interpretation. We conducted a randomized experiment involving 680 rural married women in a poverty county in China to test the effectiveness of income growth oriented financial education. The results show that women who received this education had 14% higher labor supply participation rate and 1.17 times higher frequency of seeking job information compared to the control group through increased self-efficacy and confidence in pursuing income-generating opportunities. This study offers a novel perspective on how financial education programs can improve financial conditions of underprivileged populations.
本研究探讨成长型理财教育的潜力,以增强低收入已婚妇女的权能,并提高她们的劳动参与率。传统的金融知识普及计划侧重于管理现有资源的结果,与之相反,我们的方法旨在最大限度地提高收入机会的结果以及金融知识的解释。为了检验以收入增长为导向的理财教育的有效性,我们对中国某贫困县680名农村已婚妇女进行了随机实验。结果显示,与对照组相比,接受过这种教育的妇女通过提高自我效能感和追求创收机会的信心,劳动供应参与率提高了14%,寻找工作信息的频率提高了1.17倍。本研究为金融教育计划如何改善贫困人口的财务状况提供了一个新的视角。

Investment under anticorruption: Evidence from the high-profile anticorruption campaign in Vietnam 反腐败下的投资:来自越南高调反腐运动的证据

Given Vietnam's current anticorruption campaign and its distinctive context of decentralized governance and public sector dominance, this paper investigates how anticorruption efforts affect corporate investment behaviour during 2006 and 2019. Using a novel text-based measure of anticorruption and comprehensive firm-level datasets, we uncover a consistent pattern that firms tend to delay investments in response to heightened uncertainty triggered by anticorruption activities. This strategic hesitation reflects a rational response to avoid potential regulatory and political uncertainty, and holds across a wide range of robustness checks, including alternative model specifications, variable definitions, and advanced estimation techniques such as system GMM and entropy balancing. Our findings also reveal that anticorruption campaigns significantly reduce informal business costs—particularly bribery, thus highlighting institutional improvements and a more transparent business environment. Notably, while public sector investment efficiency improves under the campaign, private firms show no significant efficiency gains, underscoring the asymmetry in how reforms affect different ownership structures. By bridging institutional reform with corporate finance, the study offers new insights into the channels through which anticorruption influences firm decision-making, governance, and political strategy. This research fills a critical gap in the literature, demonstrating that anticorruption is not merely a legal or ethical issue, but a transformative force in corporate investment dynamics.
鉴于越南当前的反腐败运动及其分散治理和公共部门主导的独特背景,本文研究了2006年至2019年期间反腐败努力如何影响企业投资行为。我们使用一种新的基于文本的反腐败测量方法和全面的企业层面数据集,发现了一种一致的模式,即企业倾向于延迟投资,以应对反腐败活动引发的不确定性加剧。这种战略性犹豫反映了一种理性的反应,以避免潜在的监管和政治不确定性,并跨越了广泛的鲁棒性检查,包括替代模型规范、变量定义和高级估计技术,如系统GMM和熵平衡。我们的研究结果还表明,反腐败运动显著降低了非正式商业成本——尤其是贿赂成本,从而凸显了制度的改善和更透明的商业环境。值得注意的是,尽管公共部门的投资效率在这场运动中有所提高,但私营企业的效率却没有显著提高,这突显了改革对不同所有制结构影响的不对称性。通过将制度改革与公司融资联系起来,该研究为反腐败影响企业决策、治理和政治战略的渠道提供了新的见解。这项研究填补了文献中的一个关键空白,表明反腐败不仅仅是一个法律或道德问题,而是企业投资动态的变革力量。

The increasing population aging has significantly altered the labor market and may consequently affect human resource management within organizations. Specifically, we investigate how this trend affects firms' employee treatment. Using panel data from the Chinese A-share firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges between 2007 and 2022, we discover that an aging population significantly reduces firms' employee treatment. This trend, which is consistent with the threat-rigidity effect, is mainly driven by rising labor costs and age discrimination against older workers. Accordingly, we find that population aging results in increased costs for recruiting, training, and pension obligations. Additionally, in areas with more pronounced population aging, firms are more likely to engage in age discrimination during recruitment. We also discuss several possible governance mechanisms. We find that advancements in intelligent elderly care systems, enhancements in education, and a stronger law environment can help alleviate the rigidity effect of population aging on employee treatment. Our research is crucial for understanding the corporate social responsibility (CSR) towards employees in an aging society and for developing effective policies to address demographic changes.
日益增长的人口老龄化已经显著改变了劳动力市场,并可能因此影响组织内部的人力资源管理。具体来说,我们调查了这种趋势如何影响公司的员工待遇。利用2007年至2022年在上海和深圳证券交易所上市的中国a股公司的面板数据,我们发现人口老龄化显著降低了公司的员工待遇。这一趋势与威胁-刚性效应一致,主要是由劳动力成本上升和对年长员工的年龄歧视推动的。因此,我们发现人口老龄化导致招聘、培训和养老金义务的成本增加。此外,在人口老龄化更为明显的地区,企业在招聘过程中更容易出现年龄歧视。我们还讨论了几种可能的治理机制。我们发现,智能养老系统的进步、教育的提高和更强有力的法律环境有助于缓解人口老龄化对员工待遇的刚性效应。我们的研究对于理解老龄化社会中企业对员工的社会责任以及制定有效的政策来应对人口变化至关重要。

This study examines the evolving risk-taking behavior of family firms and the role of ESG integration in mitigating excessive risk-taking. Traditionally viewed as risk-averse, family firms are increasingly engaging in higher risk-taking to enhance competitiveness and sustain long-term growth. We find that ESG adoption significantly reduces risk-taking in family firms by improving internal control quality, governance transparency, and reducing financial constraint, thereby strengthening overall corporate resilience. Robustness tests confirm these findings, while heterogeneity analysis reveals variations across firm life cycles, ownership structures, and industry contexts. Overall, ESG serves as a crucial governance mechanism, balancing strategic risk-taking with long-term sustainability in family firms.
本研究考察了家族企业风险承担行为的演变,以及ESG整合在缓解过度风险承担中的作用。传统上被视为厌恶风险的家族企业,正越来越多地承担更高的风险,以提高竞争力和维持长期增长。我们发现,采用ESG可以通过提高内部控制质量、治理透明度和减少财务约束,从而显著降低家族企业的风险承担,从而增强企业的整体弹性。稳健性测试证实了这些发现,而异质性分析揭示了企业生命周期、所有权结构和行业背景之间的差异。总体而言,ESG是一种至关重要的治理机制,在家族企业的战略风险承担与长期可持续性之间取得平衡。

China's high savings: Drivers, prospects, and policy implications 中国的高储蓄:驱动因素、前景和政策影响

China's national savings rate—one of the highest in the world—is at the heart of its internal/external imbalances. High savings finance elevated investment when held domestically, or led to large global imbalances when they flowed abroad. We find that high savings emanate mostly from the household sector, resulting from demographic changes induced by the one-child policy and the transformation of the social safety net and job security that occurred during the transition from centrally planned to market economy. Housing reform and rising income inequality also contributed to higher savings. Moving forward, demographic changes will put downward pressure on savings. Policy efforts in strengthening the social safety net and reducing income inequality are also needed to reduce savings further and boost consumption.
中国的国民储蓄率是世界上最高的国家之一,是其内外失衡的核心。高储蓄融资在国内持有时会增加投资,而在流向海外时则会导致严重的全球失衡。我们发现,高储蓄主要来自家庭部门,这是由独生子女政策以及从中央计划经济向市场经济过渡期间发生的社会安全网和就业保障的转变引起的人口变化造成的。住房改革和收入不平等加剧也导致储蓄增加。展望未来,人口结构的变化将给储蓄带来下行压力。为了进一步减少储蓄和刺激消费,还需要在加强社会安全网和减少收入不平等方面做出政策努力。

This study documents that high‑carbon emitters increase cash holdings by approximately 2.6% (7.9%) on average compared with low-carbon emitters after the implementation of the Paris Agreement (or the initiation of regional emission trading scheme pilots). High-carbon emitters with stronger external financial constraints and more volatile cash flows tends to hold more cash for precautionary motives. Further, cash flow is more valuable for high-carbon emitters after the implementation of decarbonization policies and increased net investing cash flow provides cash for high-carbon emitters in response to decarbonization. Additionally, high-carbon emitters conduct a green transition to reduce carbon emissions.
本研究表明,在实施《巴黎协定》(或启动区域排放交易计划试点)后,高碳排放国的现金持有量比低碳排放国平均增加约2.6%(7.9%)。外部财务约束更强、现金流波动更大的高碳排放国往往出于预防动机而持有更多现金。此外,在实施脱碳政策后,现金流对高碳排放国更有价值,净投资现金流的增加为高碳排放国应对脱碳提供了现金。此外,高碳排放国通过绿色转型来减少碳排放。
