We examine the impact of the short sell disclosure (SSD) regime on the stock lending market and investor behaviors, employing a staggered difference-indifference (DiD) methodology. Our research reveals that the introduction of the disclosure regime enhances market transparency, resulting in a diminished appeal of stock ownership in the lending market for active investors. This shift is accompanied by a reduction in information leakage risks and longer loan durations. Specifically, our analysis reveals a significant decrease in the risk of loan recall by 4.87%, accompanied by an average increase of 23.72% in loan duration for short selling activities. Furthermore, the cost associated with short-sell disclosure causes a decline in both lending supply and short demand.
