Lower levels of management and employee shareholding, as well as reduced stock pledges by controlling shareholders, contribute to more concise and less distorted responses. Furthermore, female executives and those with experiences during the Great Famine display heightened conservatism in communication.

Moreover, such firms are oftentimes faced with credit constraints and increasingly use supplier-provided payables to ease financing woes. The cumulative impact of the receivable and payable policy is an increase in net trade credit, funded by forgoing research and development, which indicates a myopic and conservative strategy.

Using data from A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2011 to 2022, the analysis reveals significant industry-level peer effects, demonstrating that competitors play a crucial role in shaping firms' ESG practices. The study identifies two primary mechanisms driving these effects: social learning and market competition.

Additionally, the study highlights the heterogeneity of peer effects, which vary based on firm age, institutional long-term investment holdings, and the marketization index. Although peer effects can mitigate short-term information asymmetry, they often negatively impact long-term market value, particularly for firms lagging in ESG performance.
