五、报告摘要：ESG rating disagreement refers to discrepancies in ESG performance ratings assigned to a firm by different rating agencies. This study investigates how ESG rating disagreement impacts firm pricing efficiency. The findings demonstrate that ESG rating disagreement contributes to promoting firm pricing efficiency. This effect is especially noticeable during bearish market conditions and among firms exhibiting specific characteristics, including large market capitalization, value orientation, lower return-on-assets (ROA), higher institutional ownership, and superior ESG ratings. The facilitative effect of ESG rating disagreement stems from the diversified information provided by ESG rating agencies, which is more effectively incorporated into stock prices due to the enhanced learning effect of investors. This study is significant for achieving a more comprehensive and objective understanding of ESG rating disagreement in financial markets.
