摘要：We use China's recent anti-corruption campaign as a natural experiment to examine the (market expected) equilibrium consequences of strong anti-corruption actions on firms. We first present a simple conceptual framework to illustrate the mechanisms. Using an event study approach and the announcement of anti-corruption inspection to be conducted by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) as the event date, we find that, overall, the stock market responded positively to the announcement of strong anti-corruption actions. Consistent with a demand-channel, the announcement returns are significantly lower for luxury-goods producers. In addition, SOEs, large firms, or politically-connected firms earn lower returns than private, small, or non-connected firms. Existing local institutions also play a crucial role in determining the announcement returns across firms. Finally, we also find that anti-corruption has long-term positive effects on existing firms’ investment and entry of new firms.
