Abstract

This paper examines how corporate ownership concentration affects stock price crash risk in Chinese listed firms. Results show that ownership concentration is negatively associated with firm-specific crash risk and this negative relation is robust against difference-in-difference test. Further evidence demonstrates that the negative relation between ownership concentration and stock price crash risk is more pronounced in privately held firms than in state-owned firms.
