Abstract

We provide evidence that CEO equity incentives, especially stock options, influence stock liquidity risk via information disclosure quality. We document a negative association between CEO options and the quality of future managerial disclosure policy. Contributing to the literature on CEO risk-taking, we document a positive association between CEO options and future systematic stock liquidity risk. Controlling for endogeneity, we show that information disclosure quality is an important channel through which CEO options influence stock liquidity risk. Results are robust to various controls for endogeneity and to the use of numerous disclosure quality and stock liquidity risk measures.
