- Abstract
This paper investigates the relationship between ESG information disclosure and stock price synchronicity as well as the moderation effect of ownership structures on this relationship. Our research extends the corporate governance and provides other insight of the important role of information disclosure in corporate governance. We use the data from CSMAR with time span from 2015 – 2019 to examine our hypothesis. We show that the higher degree of ESG information disclosure, the lower stock price synchronicity, which means more firm-specific information has been incorporated into the stock price. Further, we testify the extant difference between same-level information disclosure caused by ownership structure.
