This paper examines the relationship between shareholder ownership and the intensity of corporate carbon emissions. The results indicate a significant negative correlation between shareholder ownership and carbon emissions intensity, thereby confirming the crucial role of shareholders in advancing corporate environmental responsibility. The study further explores the moderating effects of supply chain concentration, supply and sales relationships, and supply chain resilience on the aforementioned relationship, highlighting the key role of supply chain characteristics in managing carbon risk. Additionally, it was found that these moderating effects positively impact the efficiency of corporate resource allocation and enhance innovation capabilities, providing a multidimensional strategic perspective for businesses in carbon risk management.
本文研究了股东所有权与企业碳排放强度之间的关系。结果表明,股东所有权与碳排放强度之间存在明显的负相关关系,从而证实了股东在推进企业环境责任方面的关键作用。研究进一步探讨了供应链集中度、供销关系和供应链弹性对上述关系的调节作用,强调了供应链特征在管理碳风险中的关键作用。此外,研究还发现这些调节效应会对企业资源配置效率和创新能力的提升产生积极影响,为企业进行碳风险管理提供了多维度的战略视角。

Strategic tone management in ESG reports and ESG risk 环境、社会和公司治理报告中的战略基调管理和环境、社会和公司治理风险
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-27 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103618
In this study, we investigate whether strategic tone management in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reports can serve as an indicator of future ESG risk. Our baseline results reveal a positive association between abnormal positive tone in ESG reports and future ESG risk. The findings suggest that firms employ impression management strategy in their ESG reports to provide misleading information. Analyst coverage and media attention can mitigate this positive association. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the positive correlation is stronger for firms mandated to disclose ESG reports and those adhering to the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. Additional tests indicate that abnormal positive tone is positively associated only with future environmental risk, not with future social and governance risk. We observe this positive association exclusively in government-reported ESG risk, not in media-reported ESG risk. Our results offer valuable implications for mitigating the adverse impact of strategic tone management on corporate sustainability practices.
在本研究中,我们调查了环境、社会和治理(ESG)报告中的战略基调管理是否可以作为未来 ESG 风险的指标。我们的基线结果显示,ESG 报告中的异常积极基调与未来的 ESG 风险之间存在正相关。研究结果表明,企业在其 ESG 报告中采用了印象管理策略,以提供误导性信息。分析师报道和媒体关注可以缓解这种正相关关系。异质性分析表明,强制披露 ESG 报告的公司和遵守全球报告倡议组织准则的公司的正相关性更强。其他测试表明,异常正向基调只与未来的环境风险正相关,而与未来的社会和治理风险无关。我们只在政府报告的环境、社会和治理风险中观察到了这种正相关关系,而在媒体报告的环境、社会和治理风险中没有观察到。我们的研究结果为减轻战略基调管理对企业可持续发展实践的不利影响提供了有价值的启示。

Beyond the balance sheet: Assessing corporate governance through the Lens of debtholders 超越资产负债表:从债务人的视角评估公司治理
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103625
This study investigates the relationships between economic uncertainty (EU), corporate governance (CG), and the cost of debt (COD). Using an index-based measure of CG, this study investigates how CG influences debtholders' perspectives during periods of EU. The study utilizes a dataset of nonfinancial firms listed in European countries from 2013 to 2021. We find that EU and COD are positively associated, indicating that EU increases the COD of European firms. Second, while CG has an insignificant direct impact on COD, it has a significant negative moderating impact on the relationship between EU and COD, suggesting that although a strong CG system may not have a significant direct impact on COD, it has the potential to reduce the uncertainty-induced COD of European firms. The results remain consistent with alternative proxies of COD and CG, as well as before and after the COVID-19 period. The results for CG subindices suggest that shareholder rights and compensation serve as reliable indicators for debtholders during periods of EU, while audit quality and board structure do not play any significant role in reducing uncertainty-induced COD. Our findings emphasize the key role that effective CG plays in mitigating EU's adverse effects on COD. Our results are robust to endogeneity issues such as reverse causality and selection bias, as well as to external factors like time and industry effects.
本研究探讨了经济不确定性(EU)、公司治理(CG)和债务成本(COD)之间的关系。本研究使用基于指数的公司治理衡量标准,探讨了在欧盟时期,公司治理如何影响债务人的观点。研究使用了 2013 年至 2021 年在欧洲国家上市的非金融企业数据集。我们发现,欧盟与公司债务可持续性呈正相关,表明欧盟会增加欧洲公司的债务可持续性。其次,虽然企业管治对公司业绩增长的直接影响不显著,但它对欧盟和公司业绩增长之间的关系有显著的负向调节作用,这表明尽管强大的企业管治体系可能不会对公司业绩增长产生显著的直接影响,但它有可能减少不确定性引起的欧洲公司业绩增长。这些结果与 COD 和 CG 的其他替代指标以及 COVID-19 期间前后的结果保持一致。公司治理子指数的结果表明,在欧盟时期,股东权益和薪酬是债务人的可靠指标,而审计质量和董事会结构在减少不确定性引起的公司责任丧失方面没有发挥任何重要作用。我们的研究结果强调了有效的企业管治在减轻欧盟对债务人债务违约的不利影响方面所起的关键作用。我们的结果对反向因果关系和选择偏差等内生性问题以及时间和行业效应等外部因素都是稳健的。

Does social responsibility reform curb corporate greenwashing: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China 社会责任改革能否遏制企业的 "洗绿 "行为:来自中国准自然实验的证据
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103623
Greenwashing has significantly impeded the advancement of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices and undermined the sustainable finance. To better fulfill the social responsibility of corporations, the Chinese government spearheaded reforms among state-owned enterprises in 2016. Using data of China's A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021, this study uses a difference-in-differences (DID) model to investigate the effects of the social responsibility reform on corporate greenwashing. We find that social responsibility reform significantly restrains corporate greenwashing, and this effect is heterogeneous by firm characteristics. The mechanism analysis indicates that the improvement of firms' environmental performance disclosure behavior and the moderation of external regulatory pressure from the CSRC are important channels for restricting corporate greenwashing. Overall, our findings provide new insights into reducing corporate greenwash behavior and offer microscopic evidence for the objective evaluation of the effects of China's social responsibility reform.
"洗绿 "严重阻碍了环境、社会和治理(ESG)实践的发展,破坏了可持续金融。为了更好地履行企业的社会责任,中国政府于 2016 年在国有企业中率先进行了改革。本研究利用 2011 年至 2021 年中国 A 股上市公司的数据,采用差分法(DID)模型研究了社会责任改革对企业 "洗绿 "的影响。研究发现,社会责任改革对企业 "洗绿 "行为有明显抑制作用,且这种抑制作用因企业特征的不同而具有异质性。机理分析表明,企业环境绩效披露行为的改善和中国证监会外部监管压力的缓和是限制企业 "洗绿 "的重要渠道。总之,我们的研究结果为减少企业 "洗绿 "行为提供了新的视角,也为客观评价中国社会责任改革的效果提供了微观证据。

Fee structure and equity fund manager’s optimal locking in profits strategy 收费结构与股票基金经理的最佳锁定利润策略
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-26 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103611
We study the effects of fee structures on fund managers’ strategies for locking in profits. Utilizing the optimal stopping time method, we identify two critical portfolio value thresholds that signal when a manager will choose to lock in profits. Fee components such as management fees, self-investment ratios, and high-water marks significantly influence these decisions. Specifically, higher management fees are associated with increased risk aversion, leading to a narrower continuation region, indicating a preference for lower risk. Conversely, performance fees encourage greater risk-taking. We use the S&P 500 Index and NASDAQ Composite index as representatives of managers’ portfolios and apply our model to illustrate how managers adjust their profit-locking strategies in response to their desired rewards.
我们研究了费用结构对基金经理锁定利润策略的影响。利用最优停止时间法,我们确定了两个关键的投资组合价值阈值,它们是基金经理何时选择锁定利润的信号。管理费、自我投资比率和高水位线等费用要素对这些决策有显著影响。具体来说,较高的管理费与风险规避的增加有关,导致持续区域变窄,表明管理人偏好较低的风险。相反,绩效费则会鼓励承担更大的风险。我们使用 S&P 500 指数和纳斯达克综合指数作为经理人投资组合的代表,并应用我们的模型来说明经理人是如何根据其期望回报调整利润锁定策略的。

An analysis of optimal equilibrium in the carbon trading market - From a tripartite evolutionary game perspective 碳交易市场的最佳平衡分析--从三方进化博弈的角度出发
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-25 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103629
As the climate crisis intensifies, achieving the global consensus of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality has become imperative. Carbon trading is an important financial measure to address the environmental crisis, and the realization of the dual‑carbon goals requires the cooperation and joint efforts of all parties involved in the carbon emissions trading market. This study constructs a dynamic evolutionary game model involving enterprises, government, and financial institutions while considering consumers' influence. By solving for equilibrium points and conducting numerical simulations, we explore optimal strategy choices for each stakeholder. Our findings reveal that the success of enterprise low-carbon transition is contingent upon market dynamics and requires active cooperation from government, financial institutions, and the public. Furthermore, factors such as financial market efficiency and internal governance capacity significantly impact enterprises' transformation decisions by influencing low-carbon transition costs. Public feedback indirectly affects enterprise decisions through its influence on financial institutions' provision of green services. Additionally, gradual reduction of carbon quotas by government entities facilitates progress toward low-carbon transformation objectives.
随着气候危机的加剧,实现碳封顶和碳中和的全球共识已势在必行。碳交易是应对环境危机的重要金融措施,双碳目标的实现需要碳排放权交易市场各方的通力合作和共同努力。本研究在考虑消费者影响的同时,构建了一个由企业、政府和金融机构共同参与的动态演化博弈模型。通过求解均衡点和数值模拟,我们探讨了各利益相关方的最优策略选择。我们的研究结果表明,企业低碳转型的成功取决于市场动态,需要政府、金融机构和公众的积极合作。此外,金融市场效率和内部治理能力等因素通过影响低碳转型成本,对企业的转型决策产生重大影响。公众反馈通过影响金融机构提供绿色服务,间接影响企业决策。此外,政府实体逐步减少碳配额也有助于实现低碳转型目标。

Investor attention and corporate financialization: Evidence from internet search volume 投资者关注与公司金融化:来自互联网搜索量的证据
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-25 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103576
This paper investigates the relationship between investor attention and corporate financialization from a behavioral finance perspective. We use Internet search volume as a proxy for investor attention and find that investor attention is significantly and positively related to corporate financialization using a sample of listed firms in China over the period 2011–2022, and that this relationship is more pronounced in firms with higher levels of managerial myopia. A series of robustness tests still support our baseline findings, such as considering endogeneity issues, substituting core variables, and changing the model setting. We further discuss the mechanisms of influence using two-stage regressions and find that investor attention promotes corporate financialization by increasing investor sentiment as well as heterogeneous beliefs. Finally, we perform a series of heterogeneity tests and find that the positive relationship between investor attention and corporate financialization is more pronounced among firms with higher information uncertainty, small firms, firms within monopolistic industries, and firms within high-tech industries. However, this relationship is not significantly different among firms with different levels of institutional ownership. This study provides new evidence for understanding investors' behavioral biases and how investor attention affects corporate investment strategies.
本文从行为金融学的角度研究了投资者注意力与企业金融化之间的关系。我们使用互联网搜索量作为投资者注意力的替代变量,以 2011-2022 年间中国上市公司为样本,发现投资者注意力与公司金融化显著正相关,并且这种关系在管理近视程度较高的公司中更为明显。一系列稳健性检验仍然支持我们的基本结论,如考虑内生性问题、替换核心变量和改变模型设置。我们利用两阶段回归进一步讨论了影响机制,发现投资者关注通过提高投资者情绪和异质信念来促进公司金融化。最后,我们进行了一系列异质性检验,发现投资者关注与公司金融化之间的正相关关系在信息不确定性较高的公司、小型公司、垄断行业内的公司以及高科技行业内的公司中更为明显。然而,这种关系在不同机构持股水平的企业中并无明显差异。这项研究为理解投资者的行为偏差以及投资者注意力如何影响企业投资战略提供了新的证据。

Firms' organisation capital: Do peers matter? 企业的组织资本:同行重要吗?
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103619
This paper explores the role of industry-level factor in determining organisation capital. Using US dataset, we show evidence that peers' organisation capital matters, and firms mimic their peers in formulating organisation capital. We also find that mimicking behaviour is more pronounced for firms operating in competitive product markets and environments with more information asymmetry, as is consistent with theoretical explanations for why firms imitate each other. Our results are robust to alternative measures of organisation capital and endogeneity concerns.
本文探讨了行业层面的因素在决定组织资本中的作用。通过使用美国数据集,我们发现有证据表明同行的组织资本很重要,企业在制定组织资本时会模仿同行。我们还发现,在竞争激烈的产品市场和信息不对称程度较高的环境中,企业的模仿行为更为明显,这与企业相互模仿的理论解释是一致的。我们的研究结果对于组织资本的其他衡量标准和内生性问题都是稳健的。

Can investor-firm interactions mitigate ESG rating divergence? Evidence from China 投资者与公司之间的互动能否缓解ESG评级分歧?来自中国的证据
IF 7.5 1区 经济学 Q1 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2024-09-24 DOI: 10.1016/j.irfa.2024.103612
This study empirically examines whether investor-firm interactions significantly influence the ESG rating disagreement among A-share listed companies in China. We use Q&A data between 2015 and 2021 from the Easy Interaction and E-Interaction platforms of the Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchanges (SZSE and SSE). Our results reveal that investor-firm interaction can significantly reduce the ESG rating divergence, and this result remains robust after robustness tests. The mechanism test suggests that interactions related to ESG theme can improve the ESG disclosure quality and increase ESG practices; this leads to reduced information asymmetry, thus easing rating divergence. Further, the effect is more pronounced when listed companies' ESG disclosures are similar to those in their industry, non-centralized enterprises, low corporate governance level, and fewer green investors. From the ESG rating divergence mitigation perspective, this study provides empirical evidence on the economic consequences of emerging capital markets regarding investor-firm interactions.
本研究实证检验了投资者与公司之间的互动是否会显著影响中国 A 股上市公司的 ESG 评级分歧。我们使用了深沪证券交易所(深交所和上交所)"互动易 "和 "电子互动 "平台2015年至2021年的Q&A数据。结果表明,投资者与公司的互动能够显著降低ESG评级背离,并且这一结果在经过稳健性检验后依然稳健。机制检验表明,与 ESG 主题相关的互动可以提高 ESG 信息披露质量,增加 ESG 实践,从而减少信息不对称,缓解评级背离。此外,当上市公司的 ESG 信息披露与同行业相似、企业非集中化、公司治理水平较低、绿色投资者较少时,效果更为明显。从缓解 ESG 评级分歧的角度来看,本研究为新兴资本市场在投资者与企业互动方面的经济后果提供了经验证据。

Further, the effect is more pronounced when listed companies' ESG disclosures are similar to those in their industry, non-centralized enterprises, low corporate governance level, and fewer green investors. From the ESG rating divergence mitigation perspective, this study provides empirical evidence on the economic consequences of emerging capital markets regarding investor-firm interactions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48226,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Financial Analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142327234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Risks of heterogeneously persistent higher moments 异质性持续高时刻的风险

Using intraday data for the cross-section of individual stocks, we show that both transitory and persistent fluctuations in realized market and average idiosyncratic volatility, skewness and kurtosis are differentially priced in the cross-section of asset returns, implying a heterogeneous persistence structure of different sources of higher moment risks. In particular, we find that both idiosyncratic transitory shocks to volatility and idiosyncratic persistent shocks to skewness share strong commonalities that are relevant to investors.
利用个股横截面的盘中数据,我们发现已实现的市场和平均特异性波动率、偏度和峰度的短暂和持续波动在资产收益的横截面中都有不同的定价,这意味着高时刻风险的不同来源具有不同的持续性结构。特别是,我们发现波动率的特异性过渡冲击和偏度的特异性持续冲击都具有与投资者相关的强烈共性。
