摘要：
In this study, we conjecture that Confucianism can curb the managerial bad news suppression behavior and consequently stock price crash risk. Using a unique sample of geographical-proximity-based Confucianism variables and Chinese nonfinancial firms over the period 2004-2014, we show that Confucianism is negatively associated with stock price crash risk. Further, we document that analyst coverage and institutional ownership, as formal governance mechanisms, attenuate the effect of Confucianism on stock price crash risk. The results are consistent to a battery of robustness tests and additional analyses. Overall the findings suggest that Confucianism, as an ethical system, mitigates crash risk in Chinese firms.
