The essay delves into the impact of environmental uncertainty on asymmetric mispricing, utilizing the data from listed firms in China spanning from 2007 to 2023. Our analysis reveals that environmental uncertainty amplifies stock mispricing within capital markets, whether upward or downward. Diverging from prior research, we distinguish between upward and downward mispricing and reveal the black box of environmental uncertainty affecting stock mispricing from dual channels. Specifically, environmental uncertainty intensifies upward mispricing through heightened earnings management and exacerbates downward mispricing by boosting investor irrationality. Furthermore, we explore the heterogeneous impact of different media coverage. In the downward mispricing sample, negative media exacerbated the relationship between the two, while positive coverage played a mitigating role. In the upward mispricing sample, only negative reports have a significant impact and mitigate the impact of uncertainty on mispricing. Our research on media heterogeneity once again proves that it is a double-edged sword. Our research indicates that improving the capacity to recognize different mispricing mechanisms in various market directions can greatly boost decision-making efficiency. Meanwhile, it is vital to strengthen professional ethics in media organizations and encourage more objective reporting. These efforts can jointly contribute to improving the efficiency of emerging capital markets.
Promoting the deep integration of the green economy and the digital economy is an important way to achieve sustainable economic development. Based on the sample data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2022 and the quasi-natural experiment built by the data trading platform, this study uses the multi-stage difference-in-differences model to empirically test the impact of data elements marketization on the greenwashing behavior of corporations. The results show that the marketization of data elements significantly inhibits the greenwashing behavior of corporations. The mechanism test shows that the inhibitory effect of data elements marketization on corporate greenwashing behavior is mainly realized through the information effect and the green finance effect. The heterogeneity test shows that the marketization degree of data elements has a more significant inhibitory effect on the greenwashing behavior of heavy polluting corporations, high-tech corporations, and corporations with a high degree of digital transformation. The higher the degree of regional marketization is, the lower the intensity of environmental regulation is, and the more effectively the marketization degree of data elements can inhibit the greenwashing behavior of corporations. The research conclusion not only clarifies the institutional efficiency of data element marketization in the field of environmental governance, but also provides decision-making reference with theoretical depth and practical value for government departments to optimize the data element allocation mechanism and improve the environmental governance policy system.
Through the application of network platforms and digital technologies, the digital economy can help enterprises monitor and manage resource use in real time, optimize resource allocation, and improve resource utilization efficiency, thus reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. This paper uses the data of A-share listed enterprises in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2012 to 2023 to construct a panel data model and empirically tests the effect and mechanism of the digital economy on the green development of enterprises. The study finds that the digital economy can promote the green development of enterprises and can promote the green development of enterprises by stimulating green technology innovation and enhancing green management innovation. Further tests show that the promotion effect of the digital economy on corporate green development is more prominent in the higher degree of public environmental attention, market competition, executives with digital backgrounds, and enterprises belonging to the digital economy industry. The economic consequences test shows that the digital economy significantly improves corporate green total factor productivity by promoting corporate green development. The research conclusion provides a new idea for the implementation and planning of enterprise green development and provides an important reference for the government to formulate relevant digital economy and environmental protection policies.
This study uses China's stock exchange disclosure guidelines in a quasi-natural experiment to build a difference-in-differences model, examining how industry-specific disclosure regulation affect accounting estimation intensity. The results show these regulations reduce intensity due to better information comparability and stricter auditor oversight. The effect is stronger for firms with weak governance, in less competitive industries, or far from regulators. Tests also find such regulation lowers capital costs. The findings have implications for refining regulatory frameworks and capital market reforms in developing economies.
Air pollution poses a threat to human health and economic development and has attracted worldwide attention. China also faces the problem of excessive air pollutant emissions. We use Chinese A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2020 as samples and explore the impact of air pollution on the accrual anomaly. We find that air pollution alleviates the accrual anomaly caused by the investment growth hypothesis but has no significant effect on that caused by the earnings persistence hypothesis. Furthermore, we explore how air pollution mitigates the anomaly from the perspective of investment strategy adjustments. We find that enterprises reduce the overall growth in investments through a strategy of reducing growth in innovation investments and increasing growth in financial investments without a significant impact on the growth in environmental investments. This finding indicates that air pollution can alleviate the anomaly by sacrificing innovative activities. The key to improving efficiency is to improve system construction, which should not be at the expense of the ecological environment.
Taking the Chinese A-share listed firms (2015-2020) as the research object, this study examines the impact of the presence of multiple majority shareholders(MMS) on the probability of stock exchanges inquiries(PSEI) and its mechanism. We show that the MMS can increase probability of PSEI. The mediating test shows that MMS increases PSEI by reducing the quality of internal control. Besides, a favourable information and legal environment can reduce MMS's impact on PSEI, and independent directors fail to function as supervisors and consultants.

Enterprises do not exist independently of the external environment, so uncertainty affects their earnings volatility and exacerbates the information asymmetry between internal and external stakeholders. As a major manifestation of capital market mispricing, the accrual anomaly is caused by investors' functional fixation on total surplus under information asymmetry. Against this backdrop, taking A-share listed companies in China from 2007 to 2019 as our research objects, this study explores the impact of environmental uncertainty on the accrual anomaly based on the information asymmetry and investor irrationality perspective. We find that environmental uncertainty enterprises facing exacerbates the accrual anomaly in the Chinese stock market, and internal control quality, state ownership and the media coverage will affect this impact. Furthermore, this study shows that there are three factors playing the mediating role in the effect, accounting information quality, investment growth and the investor attention. The results show that environmental uncertainty exacerbates the accrual anomaly driven by information manipulation, empire building and investor irrationality. Improving investor irrationality behavior and restraining the self-interest behavior of managers can help alleviate the mispricing of accruals caused by information asymmetry in psychology.
本文以2008—2019年A股上市公司为研究样本,实证检验了企业信用评级与股票错误定价之间的关系.研究发现,具有信用评级和高信用评级的公司股票错误定价水平较低;金融脱媒、产权性质与企业战略差异度显著影响信用评级作用的发挥.具体而言,信用评级在金融脱媒程度较高的宏观环境下、产权性质为国有以及战略差异度较大的企业中对股票错误定价的缓解作用更为显著.作用机制分析表明,企业信用评级具有信息效应和监督效应,通过缓解信息不对称和降低盈余管理,修正了股价偏离价值的程度;信用评级等级则是通过提高投资者关注和降低企业融资约束缓解了股票错误定价.研究结论有助于投资者更好地理解信用评级在资本市场发挥的作用,也为信用评级监管提供了理论证据.
