Abstract

This paper examines the impact of a modernized forest policy change in 2021 on the stock prices of forest products firms that operate and hold tenure in British Columbia. Our results suggest that the announcement of new forest policies led to substantial losses in the stock prices of five major publicly traded forest products firms that operate in the province. As a control, we also found that another public company that operated in another Canadian province and was not subject to the policy changes experienced an insignificant impact on their stock price. The impact on market capitalization is related to the harvesting rights held by these companies within British Columbia under various forest tenures. The results highlight that, for a variety of reasons, investors thought the proposed policy changes would adversely impact each firm’s future financial performance.

不列颠哥伦比亚省森林政策现代化的影响:股票市场视角
本文研究了 2021 年现代化森林政策变化对在不列颠哥伦比亚省经营和持有保有权的林产品公司股票价格的影响。我们的研究结果表明,新森林政策的宣布导致在该省经营的五家主要林产品上市公司的股票价格大幅下跌。作为对照,我们还发现,另一家在加拿大另一省份运营且不受政策变化影响的上市公司的股价也受到了显著影响。对市场资本化的影响与这些公司在不列颠哥伦比亚省各种森林保有权下持有的采伐权有关。结果表明,出于各种原因,投资者认为拟议的政策变化会对各公司未来的财务业绩产生不利影响。
