Using data from China, the study found that: (1) Internet use significantly increased the probability of companies to switch products; and (2) the impact of the internet is heterogeneous with respect to types of product switching. The Internet significantly prompts businesses to add products, but decreases two product-switching categories, i.e. both adding and dropping products, and only dropping products. Business innovation, product similarity and product core values are the keys to understanding the differentiation of internet influence.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"12 1","pages":"1644 - 1658"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90619160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first show that QFII ownership is positively associated with future ESG performance but that domestic institutional ownership is not. We then examine the effect of the increase in QFII investment funds on the decision of domestic institutional investors to drive ESG. We find that with the increase in QFII investment funds, domestic institutional investors start to promote firms to improve future ESG performance, especially domestic institutional investors who have held shares of one same firm as QFIIs at the same time. In particular, funds and security funds are affected by QFIIs, and the effect of institutional ownership is stronger in the ESG categories of corporate governance, workforce diversity and product quality. Overall, our results suggest that QFIIs motivate Chinese institutional investors to drive ESG.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"13 1","pages":"1627 - 1643"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88357342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is the first study that divides the bank loan announcement data into approved loans and rejected loans to investigate investors’ reactions toward the bank loan announcements. We examine the relationship between the borrowing firm’s customer concentration and cumulative abnormal returns upon approved and rejected bank loan announcements for Chinese listed firms between 2002 and 2018. The effect of firm’s customer concentration on the abnormal returns is evaluated by OLS regression model controlled by some firm’s characteristics. The study finds that firms with higher customer concentration incur more negative cumulative abnormal returns upon rejected loan announcements but exhibit no significant difference upon approved loan announcements.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"108 1","pages":"1226 - 1245"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88782747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider hukou reform in China as a quasi-natural experiment in identifying the effects of population mobility on employee-related corporate social responsibility (employee social responsibility, or ESR). The empirical results show that hukou reform prompts firms to invest more in ESR activities, particularly in ESR activities with weak externalities and in regions with a smaller labor market size. Cross-sectional tests suggest that the effects of hukou reform on firms’ ESR investment are stronger for more financially constrained firms and those in high-tech industries, and in more competitive regions. The findings have important practical implications for employment strategies that firms should adopt when the labor market becomes more competitive.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"25 1","pages":"1610 - 1626"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79689801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper empirically tests the economic spillover effect of anti-corruption from the perspective of corporate financing constraints based on the data from listed companies in China between 2010 and 2015. Our research shows that anti-corruption can significantly ease the financing constraints on enterprises. Due to China’s special system, the above relationship between anti-corruption and financing constraints is moderated by the nature of enterprise ownership and political connections. Furthermore, this study suggests that corporate financing constraints can be primarily eased by reducing bribery expenses and external financing frictions.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"17 1","pages":"1477 - 1493"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86365063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from China, we find that firms with controlling shareholders that start to pledge shares or increase shares pledging for loans are covered with more positive media tones. The association is more prominent when firms with higher margin call pressure, closer relationships with media, more individual investor holdings, and less analyst coverage. We further investigate the underlying channels through which stock pledges may affect media slant. Our results show that stock-pledging firms promote media slants by releasing positive news in pre-announcements and increasing advertising expenditure. We also find that the optimistic media slant of pledging firms results from increased favorable media reports instead of reducing negative information. Moreover, positive media slants will lead to a higher excess stock return of pledging firms. Compared with negative news, positive media coverage is more likely to affect pledging firms’ stock returns. Our findings prove that share-pledging firms may engage in media management. We also provide evidence for the existence of media bias in emerging markets.","PeriodicalId":45890,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Accounting & Economics","volume":"2 1","pages":"1587 - 1609"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73550139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we study voluntary disclosure choices using a context-rich setting of distressed firms in which potential benefits from withholding news (particularly bad news) are seemingly high, whereas the potential costs are seemingly low. Specifically, we focus on the question of how ‘going concern’ uncertainty affects management earnings forecasts in financially distressed firms. Our results suggest that as financial distress intensifies, there is a lower likelihood and frequency of management earnings forecasts, indicating that managers may be withholding news, particularly bad news, in distressed firm-years.
