摘要

利用 2005-2017 年间的美国公司样本，我们提供了管理者近视行为导致企业网络安全风险的证据。具体而言，我们的研究表明，可自由支配支出的异常削减（管理近视的代表）与数据泄露的可能性呈正相关。这种关联在很大程度上是由那些为了实现短期盈利目标而削减自由支配支出的公司所造成的。此外，短期股权激励较强、盈利反应系数较高、机构整体持股水平较低或市场份额较大的公司与数据泄露的关联性更强。最后，在同行宣布数据泄露时，企业似乎会增加可支配支出。

The impact of managerial myopia on cybersecurity: Evidence from data breaches

Using a sample of U.S. firms for the period 2005–2017, we provide evidence that managerial myopic actions contribute to corporate cybersecurity risk. Specifically, we show that abnormal cuts in discretionary expenditures, our proxy for managerial myopia, are positively associated with the likelihood of data breaches. The association is largely driven by firms that appear to cut discretionary expenditures to meet short-term earnings targets. In addition, the association is stronger for firms with greater short-term equity incentives, higher earnings response coefficients, low levels of institutional block ownership, or large market shares. Finally, firms appear to increase discretionary expenditures upon the announcement of data breaches by their industry peers.
