Abstract

This study investigations the relationship between investor attention and stock price crash risk in different markets and different levels of natural-person ownership. Google's search volume is primarily employed as a proxy for investor attention. The empirical results show that the higher investor attention, the higher future crash risk, with this effect being more pronounced among firms listed on the over-the-counter market and firms with a high level of natural-person ownership. This study fills the gap in research on the factors affecting stock price crashes from the perspective of investor behavior.
