  1. Notes. This table presents the influence of ESOP scale on stock price crash risk. The empirical test equation is:
  2. \( {CrashRisk}_{i,t}={\alpha}_0+{\alpha}_1\times Size\_{ESOP}_{i,t-1}\left( Stock\_{ESOP}_{i,t-1}\right)+{\alpha}_2\times {ESOP}_{i,t-1}+{\alpha}_3\times Control\kern0.3em {Variables}_{t-1}+{\varepsilon}_{i,t} \)
  3. The t-statistics, reported in parentheses, are based on standard errors clustered by both firm and time. Time and industry fixed effects are included. Here a, b, and c indicate statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1% levels, respectively
