This study investigates Internet flaming using Japanese data on flamed firms listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange from 2006 through 2013. Based on a probit model, we find that younger and/or larger firms with higher price book-value ratio (PBR) are more likely to be the target of online flaming. In addition, the event study shows that the stock prices of targeted firms tend to decline during the initial days of online flaming. However, we also show that only big corporate scandals reported by the mass media have significantly negative effects on the stock prices of flamed firms, while the short-term impact of other contents is not significant.
