In a given year, more positive news about biodiversity risk increases the value of diversified firms relative to a benchmark portfolio of single-segment firms, especially for large-diversified firms. This diversification premium effect, that is, the excess value of diversified firms, in response to positive news about biodiversity risk, is non-linear, robust to several alternative specifications, and exists regardless of internal capital market efficiency, number of business segments, excess net income, and the climate change exposure of diversified firms.

We answer this question by examining a regulation in India that allows IPO firms to seek investment from lead (anchor) institutional investors. Using a sample of 158 anchor investor-backed IPOs and 689 non-anchor IPOs from 2006 to 2020, we find that anchor-backed IPO firms are more profitable and sell at higher valuations. These IPOs raise more equity than non-anchor firms, and anchor-backed firms with higher productivity of capital raise more equity than other firms. We find that anchor-backed IPOs experience a significant improvement in profitability and Q over 4 years after the IPO. Anchor backing is associated with a lower probability of the stock being downgraded to lower categories of listing and less illiquidity. Our results suggest that capital market regulations can be effective in directing capital to firms with higher investment efficiency.</p>","PeriodicalId":46664,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Finance","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934765","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}

Our results show that state ownership significantly promotes family firms' green innovation performance. Intergenerational succession, CEO's green experience, and Confucian cultural atmosphere moderate this positive relationship significantly. Channel tests indicate that state ownership positively affects green innovation in family firms by enhancing their corporate social responsibility, facilitating their access to external resources, and improving their internal control quality. Cross-sectional analysis shows that the promoting effect of state ownership on green innovation is more prominent among family firms in non-heavily polluting industries, those with higher levels of information transparency, and those facing lower levels of market competition. These findings provide new insights into the reverse mixed-ownership reform in China and offer valuable guidance for family firms in formulating effective green innovation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":46664,"journal":{"name":"International Review of Finance","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144923588","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}

Additionally, local investors are more likely to conduct on-site visits to SEO firms before the offering process than their nonlocal counterparts.

This study examines the joint impact of credit constraints and risk tolerance on a household's decision to become self-employed using data from the 2022 Survey of Consumer Finance (SCF), and in a novel way. First, it uncovers and then accounts for the large numbers of households that are truly credit constrained yet systematically overlooked with traditional measures of credit constraints based on loan rejections. Three hidden groups are identified– underfunded borrowers, discouraged borrowers, and priced-out borrowers– which collectively make up an actual majority of credit constrained borrowers. Second, the study isolates and estimates the independent impact of credit constraints and risk tolerance on self-employment, avoiding a persistent common omitted variables problem in the literature. The results show that credit constraints and risk aversion significantly limit business activities.

We find that a firm's supplier stability decreases when it's CEO has financial work experience.

We also find that the impact of financial work experience is weakened when the financial expert CEO is female or older. The investigation into influencing channels shows that CEOs' financial work experience decreases corporate supplier stability through an increase in corporate financial investments, a decrease in financial slack, and an increase in agency costs. Finally, we find that decreased supplier stability driven by CEOs' financial work experience increases corporate operating risk.

Empirical findings reveal that the strength of clan culture is significantly negatively correlated with local carbon emission intensity, with a one standard deviation increase in clan culture strength corresponding to a 10.21% reduction in CEI. Additionally, we find that clan culture amplifies the effectiveness of environmental regulations, especially after the 2017 green finance reforms and innovation, fostering environmentally conscious behaviors in communities. Our investigation further highlights that clan culture limits carbon-intensive industries, enhances government environmental awareness, improves policy implementation, and promotes green innovation.
