Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This study examines how ESG transparency and market microstructure reform shape herding behavior in Taiwan’s equity markets. Using nonlinear CSAD models, we find that low-ESG firms exhibit stronger herding, especially in the OTC market and during market stress. The 2020 shift to continuous trading further amplifies herding among low-ESG firms. Return-dispersion decomposition shows that this convergence is mainly intentional and driven by noise trading. High-ESG firms display consistently weaker herding, underscoring the informational value of ESG. Overall, ESG transparency helps mitigate behaviorally induced co-movements and enhances market efficiency.
