However, this bias does not lead to additional profit because relative to their peers, funds with good top-10 performance tend to generate poor long-term returns. I design a clean and innovative discontinuity test between the performance of the 10th and 11th portfolio holdings to examine such window dressing behavior. I find that relative to their peers, funds that are small, new, and highly active are more likely to window dress and incur greater costs if they suffer from severe capital outflows.

However, changes in the external environment often expose enterprises to uncertainties in obtaining external financing. Taking China’s initial public offering (IPO) suspension policy as a setting, this paper examines the impact of the associated external financing uncertainty on firms. The empirical results show that firms that are unable to secure planned financing due to the IPO suspension policy engage in greater tax avoidance activities than successful IPOs during the IPO suspension period; this phenomenon is mainly concentrated in firms that are not state-owned, have no venture capital or private equity backing, have lower debt servicing capacity and have lower tax avoidance risk. Moreover, the tax avoidance activities of enterprises positively influence their fixed asset investment and innovation investment during the IPO suspension period. Evidence based on IPO price performance indicates that investors respond positively to firms’ tax avoidance practices during IPO suspensions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45688,"journal":{"name":"China Journal of Accounting Research","volume":"16 4","pages":"Article 100329"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755309123000394/pdfft?md5=56c3e8070af2ed285e4779a80ca67e55&pid=1-s2.0-S1755309123000394-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135349453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data on negative media coverage of Chinese A-share private listed companies, we examine whether companies engage in targeted poverty alleviation in response to reputational crises caused by negative media coverage. We find that negative media coverage leads private companies to engage more actively and intensively in targeted poverty alleviation because of the significant increase in public attention to the bad news. These companies must urgently rebuild their positive image using targeted poverty alleviation to resolve their public opinion crisis. Further analyses suggest that original and in-depth negative media coverage is more likely to cause companies’ active participation in targeted poverty alleviation. In addition, negative media coverage is more likely to lead companies to engage in targeted poverty alleviation when they are in heavily polluting industries or face greater pressure from external investors. Finally, we find that active involvement in targeted poverty alleviation helps companies improve their market reputation and thus effectively manage public relations crises caused by negative media coverage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45688,"journal":{"name":"China Journal of Accounting Research","volume":"16 3","pages":"Article 100306"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50193440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
