  1. Notes. This table presents regression results of the relationship during and after an ESOP’s lock-inperiod. Results (1) to (4) are estimated by regression equation:
  2. CrashRiski, t = α0 + α1 × ESOPi, t − 1 + α2 × Control  Variablest − 1 + εi, t
  3. Results (5) and (6) are estimated by regression equation
  4. \( {CrashRisk}_{i,t}={\alpha}_0+{\alpha}_1\times {ESOP}_{i,t-1}\times {Block}_{i,t}+{\alpha}_2\times {ESOP}_{i,t-1}+{\alpha}_3\times {Block}_{i,t-1}+{\alpha}_4\times Control\kern0.3em {Variables}_{t-1}+{\varepsilon}_{i,t} \)
  5. 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
