Using data for 375 droughts in 262 prefectures in China during 1906–1927, we find that drought-affected prefectures have more private bank inceptions than unaffected ones. The results remain robust to socioeconomic characteristics, foreign market exposure, and conditions of neighboring prefectures. This effect is driven by the prefectures with more agriculture-dependent enterprises, suggesting that banks meet local financial demand. On the other hand, new banks would enter less when the prefecture has more incumbent banks connected to drought-free areas. We argue that capital size and the network of capital reallocation are two advantages of banks coping with natural disasters over alternative financing vehicles such as pawn shops and foreign banks. In addition, the effect is greater among the prefectures practicing common law and with greater social capital, consistent with existing studies that bank credit supply depends on creditor rights protection. Finally, we show that drought-affected regions with more private bank inceptions have better development in agricultural businesses and social stability.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":15704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Finance","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 101496"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140209343","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}

A semiparametric profile method is used to estimate both time-varying and constant parameters. In the empirical studies, the predictive ability of the dividend-price ratio for dividend growth is considerably weaker than its ability to predict stock returns at both short and long horizons. Moreover, dividend smoothing only matters for dividend growth predictability at a low frequency. In addition, localized variance decomposition analysis suggests that the present-value relation is locally valid for most sample periods and that the main driver of the variation in the dividend-price ratio stems from its ability to predict stock returns.

This effect is amplified for grandiose narcissists, suggesting that investors are particularly wary of their risk-taking tendencies. Leveraging a natural experiment, we establish a robust causal link between narcissism and debt costs, revealing higher bond yield premiums demanded by investors in firms with narcissistic CEOs.
