The initial sample of this study covers the A-share companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges during the period 2008-2020. We then screened and processed the initial sample data, including (a) Screening for companies with both RepRisk's ESG rating and Bloomberg's ESG rating. Specifically, the selection is based on samples with the same ISIN code and companies' English names in the Bloomberg and RepRisk lndex (RRI) databases. The ISIN code is a securities coding standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is a unique code used to identify securities in each country or region around the world. We exclude samples that do not provide ISIN codes or have inconsistent English names. (b) We exclude observations with missing values for the main variables. (c) We exclude the ST, *ST and PT trading status samples during the observation period. Our final sample contains 1352 firm-year observations.The ESG disclosure score data and ESG performance score data required for the ESG-washing construction are respectively obtained from the Bloomberg database and the RepRisk Index (RRI) database of the Wharton Research Centre for Data Studies (WRDS). Positive media coverage data is sourced from the China Research Data Services Platform (CNRDS), while the instrumental variable (IV_population) is obtained from the EPS database and Juhe Data (https://www.gotohui.com/). Unless otherwise stated, all other data in this study are from the China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database. Data on executive company changes were collected manually by the authors back-to-back and independently. Then we compared and reconciled the data collected by each, and where there were discrepancies, we again collected and calibrated the data to maximize their reliability. We first obtained executive biographies from the CSMAR database, and the missing values were retrieved from Sina Finance ( https://finance.sina.com.cn/). Due to the unstructured nature of the resume data, we manually processed more than 30,000 resumes of executives to get the data of executives' company changes, based on which we calculated the per capita number of job hops of all executives in each company. The number of part-time jobs held by executives also reflects their pursuit of career changes and development, so in the robustness test the per capita mean of the number of part-time jobs held by executives is used as a proxy variable for careerist orientation. These data can be obtained directly from the CSMAR database.

We present a dataset created from merged secondary sources of ExecuComp and CompuStat and then augmented with manual data collection through searches of news stories related to CEO turnover.

We start dataset construction with the ExecuComp executive-level data for the period from 1992 through 2020. These data are merged with the CompuStat dataset of financial variables. As the dataset is intended for research on CEO turnover, we exclude observations in which the CEO at the start of the fiscal year is not well-defined; these are cases when there were co-CEOs and cases when the CEO was shared across different firms. The data set also excludes firm/year combinations that involve a restructuring of the firm – spinoff, buyout, merger, or bankruptcy.

We identify the CEO at the start of each year for each firm. This also helps identify the last year an individual served as CEO. In order to identify CEO turnover based on changes in the CEO from year to year, we require firm observations to extend over at least six contiguous years for the firm to remain in the sample. Cases involving the last year the firm is in the sample are excluded. We also exclude from the dataset cases when there was an interim CEO who stayed in the position for less than 2 years. This results in a sample of 3,100 firms reflecting 41,773 firm/year combinations.

For this sample, we examine news articles related to CEO turnover to confirm the reasons for each CEO departure case. We use the ProQuest full-text news database and search for the company name, the executive name, and the departure year. We identify news articles mentioning the turnover case and then classify the explanation of each CEO departure case into one of five categories of turnover. These categories represent CEOs who resigned, were fired, retired, left due to illness or death, and those who left the position but stayed with the firm in a change of duties, respectively.

The published data file does not include proprietary data from ExecuComp and CompuStat such as executive names and firm financial data. These data fields may be merged with the current data file using the provided ExecuComp and CompuStat identifiers.

The dataset consists of a single table containing the following fields: • gvkey – unique identifier for the firms retrieved from CompuStat database • firmid – unique firm identifier to distinguish distinct contiguous time periods created by breaks in a firm’s presence in the dataset • coname – company name as listed in the CompuStat database • execid – unique identifier for the executives retrieved from ExecuComp database • year – fiscal year • reason – reason for the eventual departure of the CEO executive from the firm, this field is blank for executives who did not leave the firm during the sample period • ceo_departure – dummy variable that equals 1 if the executive left the firm in the fiscal year, and 0 otherwise

The Corporate Financial Fraud project is a study of company and top-executive characteristics of firms that ultimately violated Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) financial accounting and securities fraud provisions compared to a sample of public companies that did not. The fraud firm sample was identified through systematic review of SEC accounting enforcement releases from 2005-2010, which included administrative and civil actions, and referrals for criminal prosecution that were identified through mentions in enforcement release, indictments, and news searches. The non-fraud firms were randomly selected from among nearly 10,000 US public companies censused and active during at least one year between 2005-2010 in Standard and Poor's Compustat data. The Company and Top-Executive (CEO) databases combine information from numerous publicly available sources, many in raw form that were hand-coded (e.g., for fraud firms: Accounting and Auditing Enforcement Releases (AAER) enforcement releases, investigation summaries, SEC-filed complaints, litigation proceedings and case outcomes). Financial and structural information on companies for the year leading up to the financial fraud (or around year 2000 for non-fraud firms) was collected from Compustat financial statement data on Form 10-Ks, and supplemented by hand-collected data from original company 10-Ks, proxy statements, or other financial reports accessed via Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR), SEC's data-gathering search tool. For CEOs, data on personal background characteristics were collected from Execucomp and BoardEx databases, supplemented by hand-collection from proxy-statement biographies.
