報告1:Manager Letters: Voluntary Disclosure in Response to The Covid-19 Pandemic
報告人:劉璐(新加坡南洋理工大學)
摘要:I study a novel and popular type of voluntary disclosure: manager letters. Since early 2020, about 50% of S&P 500 managers have issued letters in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hand-collect a sample of manager letters issued by S&P 500 firms, and study the contents, linguistic features, determinants, and consequences of the letters. I find that the issuance of the letter is positively related to investors' information demand. Issuing firms experience downward forecast revisions and their managers tend to discuss COVID-19 risks in subsequent earning calls, compared to non-issuing firms. However, issuing firms enjoy lower subsequent crash risk. Overall, my results suggest that firms use manager letters to inform investors their exposure to the pandemic. While the disclosure reduces the market's earnings expectations, it helps to minimize the firm's long-term crash risk.

報告2:結構性貨币政策與公司資本投資——基于中期借貸便利的經驗證據
報告人:劉曉玲(廈門大學)
摘要:中國結構性貨币政策旨在通過向銀行投放基礎貨币,引導信貸資源流向實體經濟以刺激總體需求和經濟增長。本文考察中期借貸便利通過銀行信貸供給渠道對公司資本投資決策的影響。雙重差分的研究結果表明在中國人民銀行創設中期借貸便利之後,受政策影響較大公司的總投資和淨投資水平大幅提高。渠道檢驗表明在中期借貸便利實施之後,受政策影響更大的商業銀行的信貸供給顯著增加,進而轉換為這些銀行借款公司的新增固定資産投資。進一步研究表明二者之間的關系主要存在于高融資約束、低産品市場地位以及投資機會較好的企業組中。并且,本文發現中期借貸便利對資本投資的促進效應能夠顯著提高公司的産品市場份額。最後,本文還發現中期借貸便利對城市總體固定資産投資也具有顯著的促進作用。本文聚焦于公司資本投資決策這一對促進總體需求和經濟增長至關重要的關鍵性問題,對于深入理解結構性貨币政策的有效性和可行性具有重要的理論和現實意義。
