  • This paper examines the impact of typhoons in China on the stock returns and managers’ responses of Chinese A-share listed firms. Based on a sample of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2003 to 2018, we find that the occurrence of typhoons causes significant negative effects on the Chinese stock market, both economically and statistically. We use an event study approach to test the impact of typhoons directly, and we sort the stocks into different portfolios to examine the sensitivity of the typhoons’ effect to different factors. We also investigate the responses of firms’ management to damaging disasters using a difference-in-differences method with multiple time periods. We discover that firms in the neighborhood area are willing to take precautions, including decreasing the current debt to total debt ratio and increasing the ratio of long-term borrowing financing to total assets. Furthermore, firms’ overreactions will disappear as the number of attacks increases, and the rationality of this overreaction needs further research.
    How the Chinese stock market and firms react to the typhoon disasters.

    • We find that the occurrence of typhoons causes significant negative effects on the Chinese stock market, both economically and statistically
    • We sort the stocks into different portfolios to examine the sensitivity of the typhoons’ effect to different factors and find that smaller size and lower value stocks are vulnerable to typhoon disasters.
    • We also investigate the responses of firms’ managers. We discover that managers are inclined to take precautions such as altering the debt structure rather than increasing firms’ cash holdings.
