Abstract

This talk will  share the investigation on whether attitudes towards gambling help explain the occurrence of stock price crashes in China. The following questions will be discussed with the audiences.

• Do firms with stronger gambling preference experience greater stock price crash risk?
• Can the impact of local gambling attitudes on stock price crash risk be mitigated by higher quality internal monitoring and more stringent external monitoring?
• What are the two channels through which gambling preferences intensify stock price crash risk?
