Abstract
The public announcement of news arising from corporate events of a perceived unethical nature maybe expected to result in a decreased demand for shares in the companies concerned, the extent of the decrease being dependent upon the propensity of equity investors to be concerned about ethical corporate behaviour. From a study of a wide range of public newspaper reports of ethically negative news relating to companies with a high probability of signalling negative news, it has been found that the frequency with which negative news results in a significant drop in share prices is typically small. This finding is consistent with the view that most investors are concerned primarily with risk and return.
