There was found to be a significant negative correlation between the age of the Chairman and the stock price crash risk. With the increase of the Chairman's age, the stock price crash risk was significantly reduced, but education level and gender were not found to significantly impact stock price crash risk. Further examination of the impact mechanism revealed that corporate investment behavior and internal control activities played a "bridge role" in the impact of Chairman's age on stock price crash risk. In addition, the "substitution effect" between Chairman's age and accounting conservatism was also found to be a factor in the relationship with stock price crash risk. On one hand, this study deepens the research on the influencing factors of stock price crash risk, and on the other hand, it sheds light on the economic consequences of the management background characteristics in enterprise activities., This research is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (71603028), and JSPS KAKENHI Grant (16KK0078).}, pages = {1--18}, title = {Management Background Characteristics and Stock Price Crash Risk}, volume = {68}, year = {2020} }
