Emotions are fundamental elements driving humans’ decision-making and information processing. Fear is one of the most common emotions influencing investors’ behaviors in the stock market. Although many studies have been conducted to explore the impacts of fear on investors’ investment performance and trading behaviors, little is known about factors contributing to and alleviating investors’ fear during the market crash (or extremely volatile periods) and their fear regulation after the crisis. Thus, the current data descriptor provides details of a dataset of 1526 Chinese and Vietnamese investors, a potential resource for researchers to fill in the gap. The dataset was designed and structured based on the information-processing perspective of the Mindsponge Theory and existing evidence in life sciences. The Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics validated the data. Insights generated from the dataset are expected to help researchers expand the existing literature on behavioral finance and the psychology of fear, improve the investment effectiveness among investors, and inform policymakers on strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of market crashes on the stock market.

Using the margin trading reform of China’s stock market as a quasinatural experiment, this paper explores whether margin trading promotes the high-quality development of listed companies. The results show that total factor productivity (TFP) significantly decreases after listed companies are included in the underlying stocks of margin trading. In addition, the negative impacts are stronger for listed companies with higher financial leverage, lower cash asset holdings, lower shareholdings of financial institution investors, and less attention from securities analysts. Further research shows that the negative impacts of margin trading on TFP are closely related to the deterioration of the information environment and the tightening of financing constraints. When listed companies are included in the underlying stocks of margin trading, they use a lower proportion of their net profit for internal financing (and a higher proportion of their net profit for cash dividends) and significantly reduce external equity financing. The results of this study show that the margin trading reform in China’s stock market may inhibit the high-quality development of listed companies to a certain extent.
