Abstract

Based on the textual analysis of A-share listed non-financial 2017–2022 annual reports, this paper investigates the shareholder wealth effect of annual report disclosure transparency. It is found that the improvement of annual report disclosure transparency has a good mitigating effect on the degree of information asymmetry between the company and the market, which in turn positively affects shareholders' wealth; it is further found that the above effect is more significant in firms with higher analysts' attention and a higher proportion of institutional shareholders.
