In this paper (🔗https://t.co/dG14SgMpC1), we analyze how U.S. firms adjust hiring before gubernatorial elections. We find firms reduce hiring, especially for high-skill, unionized, and less flexible roles, consistent with a real options “wait-and-see” approach.💼💼💼 (🧵2/3)

Litigation risk affects the delisting propensity of US firms. We find that even indirect costs of litigation matter. Our results suggest that mitigating excessive litigation costs is crucial for the vibrancy of the US stock market. https://t.co/32MkX1NW8d
