摘要
We examine the impact of share pledging (SP) on management earnings forecasts (MEFs). Our findings suggest that an SP firm has more optimistic MEFs than a non-SP firm, suggesting that SP contributes to more optimistically biased MEFs. In addition, an SP firm is more likely to provide less specific MEFs than a non-SP firm. The results are robust to alternative measures of SP and MEFs and accounting for endogeneity. Additional analysis suggests that when the controlling shareholder has a high risk of losing control rights (the firm is located in a high marketization region or the stock has a high crash risk) or the corporate governance is poor, the impact of SP on optimistic MEFs and vague MEFs is magnified.
