Corporate disclosure and the informational efficiency of stock prices: New evidence
摘要
This study examines the impact of corporate disclosure on price efficiency by using a comprehensive ranking system that evaluates over 100 measures across five categories of information disclosure for all publicly listed firms in Taiwan. Addressing sample selection bias, we find that firms exceeding a specific disclosure threshold exhibit enhanced stock price efficiency. Furthermore, our path analysis illustrates that domestic institutions play a more pronounced role than foreign institutions in this relationship. These findings from a quasi-natural experiment have noteworthy policy implications, highlighting the necessity for policymakers to consider the extent of corporate disclosure to improve market quality.
