China's local authorities do not have a fixed term, creating an ideal environment for studying how economic agents react to their perception of political uncertainty without an actual political turnover. We implement a machine-learning method to predict the term length of city leaders by observing others with similar backgrounds. Combining this new measurement of political uncertainty and bank- and firm-level data, we find an inverted U-shaped relationship between city leaders' predicted remaining term length and bank loans, corporate liabilities, and investment, which matches the change of political uncertainty over the term. We also record the potential adverse consequences of the politically motivated loan and investment expansion, such as a loss of corporate efficiency and a disruption in market order.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 102480"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142044976","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}

Using Taiwanese short sale data, we show that short sellers' closing of short positions is subjected to the disposition bias, while they are partially informed in the sense that a higher level of the short balance predicts a lower stock return. As a result, short sellers tend to close their short positions prematurely and fail to fully exploit the potential profits.

I examine the impact of common ownership of suppliers and customers on suppliers' innovation activities. I find suppliers' investment in innovation, quantity, and quality of innovation output increase when common owners control higher fractions of their and their customers' shares outstanding. The impact of this vertical common ownership on innovation input and quality of innovation output is stronger and more robust than that of the horizontal common ownership. I provide plausible evidence for causality using both a difference-in-differences approach and an instrument variable approach based on a quasi-natural experiment in the form of financial institution mergers and acquisitions. Moreover, I test the potential channels through which the vertical common ownership could influence supplier innovation. My evidence suggests that common ownership increases suppliers' investment in innovation by mitigating hold-up issues between suppliers and customers and enhances suppliers' innovation output performance by improving technological spillovers between suppliers and customers. However, my results also suggest that for suppliers producing mainly capital goods, these positive effects of common ownership on innovation are offset by a negative effect due to vertical creative destruction. Overall, my evidence suggests that common institutional ownership enhances suppliers' innovation performance by improving relationships between suppliers and their customers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"87 ","pages":"Article 102478"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142002025","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}

The positive effect of employee friendly treatment on trade credit is more prominent in firms with lower market power and firms located in areas with weaker legal enforcement, lower level industrialization and poorer high education popularity.

Taking the political rankings of visiting officials into consideration, we find that municipal officials have a more significant influence on stock price crash risk.
