On average, the affected mining firms experience a cumulative drop in their market value of 1.15% in the first 2 day day of a disaster. We show also that the accidents impact stocks of the current and future (greenfield) competitors of the affected firms. The direction and size of the effect is determined by the relative strength of the negative risk effect and positive price and supply effects.Show less >
