ABSTRACT

This study investigates the effects of foreign ownership on future stock price crash risk of firms in Korea Stock Exchange over the period 2004-2015 using daily stock returns. The stock price crash risk decreases with more transparent information which a firm provides to the stock market. I suggest foreign ownership as a determinant variable of the transparency in the information that a firm provides, since the higher foreign ownership leads to the greater transparency in emerging markets such as Korea. I find that firms with higher foreign ownership are more likely to have lower future stock price crash risk. This evidence suggests that the relation of foreign ownership to stock price crash risk is due to the monitoring effect of foreign investors in Korean stock market.
