摘要
Based on SWOT theory with respect to firm's strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat, we construct a corporate strategic dictionary to quantify strategic information disclosure (SID). We then explore the association between SID and the cost of equity capital. Our evidence in China shows that SID is negatively associated with the cost of equity capital. Further, analysts' forecasts and stock liquidity have a mediating effect on strategic disclosure toward the cost of equity capital, respectively. Our findings support the channel of reducing information asymmetry for the impact of SID on the cost of equity capital.
