This study investigates the value of reputation capital with regard to the stock market crash in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, when stock prices fell precipitously, firms with a positive reputation for the usefulness of products/services seen from within their business network showed stock returns five to seven percentage points higher than firms with a low reputation score. This suggests a positive reputation among stakeholders can serve as insurance against shocks in times of crisis. Notably, results suggest firms that can build public trust owing to the usefulness of the product/service are more resilient from crash caused by real economic damage, as occurred with the COVID-19-related crash.
本研究探讨了声誉资本在新冠疫情初期股市暴跌方面的价值。当时,股价急剧下跌,在其商业网络中因产品/服务有用性而拥有良好声誉的公司,其股票回报率比声誉得分低的公司高出五到七个百分点。这表明,在利益相关者中拥有良好声誉可以在危机时期作为抵御冲击的保障。值得注意的是,研究结果表明,因产品/服务有用性而能够建立公众信任的公司,在因实际经济损害导致的暴跌(如与新冠疫情相关的暴跌)中更具韧性。
