Abstract

We develop the panel regression model to examine the effect of corporate cash holding on stock price crash risk with data of Chinese listed firms during 2007 to 2018. Based on our results, the corporate cash holding is positively associated with future stock price crash risk. This robustness of results is verified by conducting a series of checks including alternative sample, fixed effects model, and adding omitted control variables. Moreover, the impact of cash holding on stock price crash risk is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises and firms with higher analyst coverage and greater growth. This paper provides support for the agency theory about its effects on stock price crash risk, confirming that the interest conflicts between stockholders and executives do increase the crash risk. In addition, this paper suggests firms cautiously consider their cash holding level and rationally supervise management behavior.
