Abstract
En 中文
• We split ESG disclosure into substantive and symbolic by text verifiability. • Substantive, not symbolic, ESG disclosure raises firm markups. • The effect runs through greater capital-market pricing efficiency. • Gains are larger under high institutional ownership and separation. • Substantive disclosure shows positive industry-level peer spillovers.
