Abstract:Technology innovation will affect stock price volatility due to its high uncertainty and information asymmetry. This paper selects 1626 innovative listed companies between 2006 and 2013 as samples and does research on how does technology innovation activities influence idiosyncratic volatility. This paper finds that: Firstly, the more the R&D investment is, the greater idiosyncratic volatility is. The more new patent is, the less idiosyncratic volatility is. Secondly, relative to traditional industries, stock idiosyncratic volatility is relatively small in the high-tech industries because of R&D investment and new patents. Thirdly, different types of patent have significantly different influence on the stock idiosyncratic volatility.
