| Abstract | We find that stock price crashes are positively associated with lagged equity lending fee and fee risk. We establish causality by adopting a fuzzy regression discontinuity design to instrument for lending fee and fee risk based on Russell 1000/2000 index reconstitution. This positive relation is stronger for stocks with lower short interest, higher arbitrage risk, and higher information uncertainty. Our results are robust to using alternative measures of price crash risk and equity lending market condition. Overall, our findings indicate that higher short-sale costs and risks result in higher stock price crash risk due to the accumulation of negative information. |
