内容提要

This study examines several behavioral patterns in the context of managerial decision-making using Chinese data. Based on the outbreak of SARS in 2003, which is caused by the same family of viruses as COVID-19, we show that firms with board chairs who experienced the outbreak of SARS during their tenure as senior executives invest less in subsequent periods, and even less during the COVID-19 outbreak. This effect is evident for board chairs that personally experienced the pandemic and those who prominently perceived their neighbor’s operating distress during the outbreak of SARS. The impact persists and is amplified by other negative shocks, such as infectious diseases and economic uncertainty, which supports the validity of the stimulus generalization theory in corporate finance. Firms with board chairs experienced SARS performed relatively better during the COVID-19 outbreak than during normal business operations. However, the benefit is much less than the overall loss. This study supports the findings that the long-lasting impact of pandemic-induced operating-distress experiences can distort the real economy, which has useful implications for assessing the long-term economic impacts of COVID-19.
