We show that firms with higher leverage and longer debt maturity are more negatively responsive to monetary restrictions.

Firm-level heterogeneity proves to be more pronounced in the presence of long-term—rather than short-term—indebtedness. We further argue that the investment response to monetary contractions is heterogeneous not only with respect to the firm-level financial structure but also in relation to the country-specific financial and productive conditions.

Using a difference-in-differences (DiD) setting, we find that bound firms experience a decline in ESG performance following a sovereign downgrade. This decline occurs only after the downgrade, not before, validating the parallel trends assumption. Our analysis further indicates that this effect is not driven by financing frictions and is concentrated in countries with a shareholder-centric orientation, and among firms with low institutional ownership from countries with strong social norms. Additional evidence suggests that affected firms experience an increase in ESG-related incidents, damaging their reputation post-downgrade.

Using the market reaction as our instrument, we test the proposition that female directors appointed after Norway’s pioneering board gender-balancing quota law exhibit a degree of informativeness similar to that of male directors. Consistent with this proposition, we first show that the average market reaction to female director purchases jumps from a prequota value of zero to a level similar to that of male directors. Second, the market reaction is increasing in the board’s director network connectivity (but not in director busyness). Third, regardless of gender, the positive post-quota market reaction to insider purchases does not translate into holding-period adjusted abnormal performance. Fourth, insider purchase activity by both male and female directors increases significantly during the year following the 2008 financial crisis (when boards were already gender-balanced). This gender-neutral increase in insider purchases caused by the exogenous market-wide stock price drop further suggests that female directors are as informed as their male counterparts about firm value.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15525,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Finance","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 102851"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144756910","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}
