Contrary to the common belief that financial supervision is costly for bank shareholders, agency theory indicates that supervisors’ audits can actually save shareholders money.

HKUST-led research shows that judges’ ideological leanings affect the outcomes of insider-trading cases. According to Allen H. Huang, Yue Zheng, and a co-author, liberal judges take an especially strong stance against insider trading, with significant real-world consequences for traders and regulators. Judge ideology is known to influence securities lawsuits

Research by the HKUST’s Charles Hsu shows that disclosures of non-GAAP earnings numbers are associated with a greater risk of stock price crashes.

This mechanism, which is substitutive to
