Moreover, the association is more pronounced when judgments are vulnerable to government intervention, such as non-contractual cases, cases involving small amounts, judges have a higher promotion pressure, and lawsuits are judged in regions with a worse legal environment. Finally, media attention, regulatory oversight, and reputational concerns of institutional investors and other stakeholders can constrain the judicial advantage of these firms.

Instrumental-variables estimates based on headquarters-state property taxes, crime rates, and local natural-disaster exposure support a causal link from REMV to M&amp;A deal performance. A two-by-two design crossing industry growth opportunities with acquisition covenants shows that both lender screening and financial flexibility mechanisms operate: returns are strongest when growth opportunities are high and covenants are restrictive, remain positive but smaller when only one channel is active, and vanish when both are weak. Consistent with ex-ante screening, acquirers borrowing against real estate are more likely to withdraw deals with negative announcement reactions.

We extend the signaling model of Oded (2005) by including a minimum buyback requirement and show that it increases the stock price during the repurchase period, relative to a no minimum buyback regime. Accordingly, we find that the regulatory change has led to a significant increase in the abnormal stock returns earned around buyback announcements. Also, insiders increase their purchase of firms’ stock during the buyback execution period relative to the pre-reform period. These findings are consistent with a higher information value of OMR announcements in the minimum buyback regime. We further observe lower market timing through buyback execution, accompanied by a change in the execution-style, implying a weaker instinct for opportunistic buybacks. Our findings suggest that the regulatory change has lowered the “cheap-talk” motives associated with the announcement of open market buybacks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15525,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102941"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145924019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foreign banks subject to mandatory environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure regulations reduce the loan spreads to green revenue firms. We also find suggestive evidence that firms with green revenue tend to file more green patents following loan origination.
