Topic/题目:Global Investors and Supplier Identity Disclosure in Emerging Markets

Speaker/报告人:江伟教授(中国人民大学)

Facilitator/主持人胡金帅教授

Abstract/摘要Extant literature suggests that, given the rising norm of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing, global investors as financial multinational enterprises (MNE) are well-positioned to foster corporate responsibility across borders and help tackle grand challenges. We add nuance to this literature by leveraging the institutional theory to explain why this effect depends on the regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive dimensions of the institutional context. We use China’s stock market liberalization programs as natural experiments that quasi-exogenously integrate emerging market firms with the global financial market and focus on supplier identity disclosure as a key lever to counter environmental degradation. We find that, without regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive institutional support, the increased influence of global investors through stock market liberalization programs reduces the voluntary disclosure of supplier information rather than increases it. We address alternative explanations such as whether non-ESG motivations drive the reduction in supplier identity disclosure. Our study has implications for research on stock market liberalization, corporate voluntary disclosure, and responsible investing.
