Abstract

This study reveals through empirical investigation that cultural diversity heightens the corporate litigation risk, and irrational asset structure elevates this risk. Board independence plays a moderating role in the relationship between asset structure and corporate litigation risk, and the influence of cultural diversity on litigation risk is less pronounced in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) compared with non-SOEs.
