摘要
Although prior literature argues that diversification leads to firm value discount, few studies examine the relation between diversification and firm risk. Using the data from Chinese stock markets during 2002-2005, we find that diversification significantly reduces firm risk. However, such a risk-reduction effect is weakened when managers are over-confident. Our findings lend a support to firm diversification even there exists diversification discount.
