Our findings indicate that compliance with mandatory CSR spending significantly enhances credit ratings, particularly for firms with a history of voluntary CSR engagement. This suggests that rating agencies positively perceive consistent CSR activities, viewing them as indicators of enhanced transparency and reduced default risk, thus improving creditworthiness under the new regulatory environment. Our findings are validated using a Difference-in-Differences framework and an instrumental variable approach to address endogeneity concerns.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055293","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}

This study addresses this research gap by investigating the relationship between digital transformation and corporate cash holdings in Vietnam. The findings, based on microeconometric analysis of Vietnamese-listed firms, indicate that digital transformation reduces corporate cash holdings. However, this effect diminishes when considering the moderating role of business environment quality. These results highlight that digital transformation policies alone may be insufficient to address excessive corporate cash holdings without concurrent improvements in the quality of the business environment.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055297","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}

These decisions are often made under cognitive load. This study explores the impact of cognitive load on group investment decisions. We conduct a game-like investment experiment involving individuals, groups, and gender-heterogeneous groups, with half of the participants placed under cognitive load. The findings reveal that cognitive load increases risk-taking for both individuals and groups. Joining a group and experiencing losses in previous rounds also increase risk-taking, although the effect of past losses weakens under cognitive load. Practical implications for corporate decision-making are discussed.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020084","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}

This paper illuminates the interactions between clean and dirty energy markets and further investigates their asymmetric responses to climate risks. The influence of climate risks extends beyond extreme values and has a substantial impact on the overall distribution of the connectedness between clean and dirty energy markets. As the physical risk intensifies, the connectedness within both clean and dirty energy markets increases. The abnormal transition risk will render energy market fluctuations more uncertain and accentuate the distinction between clean and dirty energy markets.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020082","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 social distancing orders in March 2020 as an exogenous shock, this study identifies digital communication among market participants and finds that PIN significantly decreased after the social distancing orders became effective. Robustness tests at the state level and using an international sample further confirm the negative impact of digital communication on PIN. These findings suggest that the ongoing media transition from face-to-face to digital communication can negatively influence informed trading in financial markets.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020297","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}

The research illustrates that digital platforms enhance revenue streams while simultaneously decreasing operational expenditures, thereby leading to an overall enhancement in financial performance. Utilizing a dynamic panel data methodology, the results demonstrate the temporal impacts of digital platforms on key financial indicators. Furthermore, it explores the complex interplay between digital intensity and marginal benefits, offering practical ideas for companies seeking to enhance both scalability and funding opportunities. By analyzing differing levels of digital intensity, we illustrate how scalability influences financial margins and market capitalization. The results imply that organizations adopting digital platforms are more inclined to secure long-term economic viability and financing capability through improved efficiencies in data processing and strategic decision-making. However, investing in digitalization has an optimal point from where it shows diminishing returns.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"109 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020303","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 panel data from 19 upper middle-income countries, we apply multiple econometric models. Macroeconomic variables such as trade openness, inflation rate and foreign direct investment have also been included. The results indicate that the scale of legal institutions has an even more pronounced negative relationship with banking risk. The interaction effects show that legal factors improve the level of resistance to macroeconomic fluctuations. In terms of policy implications, major factors stress institutional changes to strengthen governance and minimize the system risk of banking structures.","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143055298","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}
