摘要

This study examines the impact of insider stock ownership on earnings persistence within the framework of agency theory following the 2018 implementation of a revised Code of Corporate Governance of Listed Companies in China. Analyzing data from A-share firms on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges from 2018 to 2021, the results show a significant positive impact of ownership by boards of directors, executives, and actual controllers on earnings persistence. Supervisory board ownership did not have a significant impact on earnings persistence. These findings bring attention to issues concerning the efficacy of internal governance in Chinese listed firms.
