摘要:In this paper we make an empirical study of the relationshipbetween risk disclosure and the cost of equity. In particular, theobjective being pursued is to contrast whether or not the cost ofequity for the company is related to its financial and non‑finan‑cial risk disclosure. Our results show no statistically significantrelationship between the latter and the cost of equity; and astatistically significant relationship, with a positive sign, be‑tween this cost and financial risk disclosure. This suggests thatcompany risk disclosures appear to introduce unknown con‑tingencies and risk factors rather than only update informationabout known risks.
