摘要: Theory and prior research suggest that overconfidence leads managers to overestimate their own ability generate returns, leading riskier corporate policies. We use a novel dataset of media awards as an exogenous shock test whether award-winning CEOs adopt more aggressive tax Using propensity score matching difference-in-difference design, we find strong evidence firms with CEO exhibit significantly greater aggressiveness following the award. Overall, our results has meaningful impact on policy.
