We identify executive speculation and investor incentives as key catalysts, wherein overvalued stocks incentivize risk-seeking managerial practices and short-term profit alignment with shareholders.

The findings underscore the dual influence of market inefficiencies and governance dynamics in accelerating financialization within the real sector. The results offer critical insights for policymakers addressing systemic risks arising from speculative finance and resource allocation distortions.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysing 1231 cryptocurrencies, 315 of which have whitepapers, reveals significantly higher average excess returns for coins accompanied by whitepapers, particularly in the long term, rather than immediately after being listed on CoinGecko.com. In addition, specific whitepaper characteristics such as scope, readability, and sentiment are investigated regarding their relationships with coin performance. The results indicate a wide variance among certain features, showing that larger whitepapers negatively correlate with excess returns, while readability shows no consistent effect. Whitepaper sentiment is negatively connected to long-term excess returns, though in a complex relationship. Several robustness tests are conducted to evaluate the reliability of the results.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a panel of 713 S&amp;P 1500 firms from 2010 to 2019, we find that overconfident CEOs with higher equity-based (i.e., convex) compensation are associated with significantly lower levels of both cash dividends and share repurchases. In contrast, inside debt compensation (non-convex) mitigates this effect, encouraging higher dividend payouts. The results suggest that these effects operate through financial slack and risk-taking channels. The uncovered relationships are present only in firms operating in non-innovative industries and with strong corporate governance. We interpret this as evidence that boards in innovative firms preserve managerial discretion, while weak governance limits the board’s ability to discipline overconfident CEOs. Our findings are robust to alternative measures of overconfidence and endogeneity controls. These results highlight the importance of tailoring CEO incentives to behavioral traits such as overconfidence, particularly in relation to payout decisions.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
