The flow of information in the capital market is strategically important because it determines the path of investors' decisions. In this decision-making process, the managers of the companies can disclose timely and reliable information based on their cognitive and perceptual characteristics of capital market situations. This article aims to contribute to the capital market knowledge literature by presenting the framework of managers' inertia drivers in response to reliable disclosure of information. This study adopted mixed, both inductive and deductive approaches to develop an integrated framework, validate its practicability, and verify its effectiveness in selected firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, respectively. In developing the framework and implementation procedure, the study employed a systematic screening data collection (qualitative) approach to review the managers' inertia drivers. Then, in this study's second phase, the Interpretive Rating Process (IRP) and Fuzzy Reference System are used to develop the framework of managers' inertia drivers in response to reliable disclosure of information. The study's results in the qualitative part indicate the determination of 8 driving areas of managers' inertia in the reliable disclosure of information. On the other hand, the quantitative section results showed that managers' overconfidence and excitability are the most influential fields in stimulating managers' inertia in the timely disclosure of information. Based on the results, it was determined that the excitability of managers' overconfidence in creating inertia causes managers' subjective estimates to cause exclusivity in information disclosure.

Rising inflation in recent years has caused financial distress and many problems for companies. Most of these problems are affected by life cycle stages. One way out of these problems is to increase corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. Therefore, our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of CSR performance on financial distress over the life cycle of the company for a period of 10 years. Data collection was done through the website of the Tehran Stock Exchange and related software for a sample of 112 companies during the period 2009 to 2019. The mathematical method (directional distance function) is used to evaluate the CSR performance, and the models of Berger et al., Almida, Campello, and Altman are used to measure financial distress. The research hypotheses are tested using panel data and fixed effects by multivariate regression statistical method. The results show that CSR performance alone does not affect financial distress. The combination of CSR and life cycle in the growth and maturity phases has a significant and negative effect on financial distress. The CSR performance and life cycle together reduce financial distress. The combination of CSR performance and life cycle in the recession phase has a positive and significant effect on financial distress and in the fall phase, does not affect it. Given that companies compete more in the phase of growth and maturity than other phases of the life cycle, they also pay more attention to CSR. Therefore, according to these results, it can be concluded that the life cycle of the company and the CSR performance together, reduce financial distress.

In this research, the impact of clear rumor declarations on the measurement of abnormal stock returns behavior has been investigated in Tehran Stock Market by means of event research so that to reveal well abnormal stock returns behavior. Following testing 169 clear rumor declarations during the period (2017-2019), Using Spss statistical software version 26 and Eviews version 12, the results of regression analysis and correlation tests indicate that content of clear rumor declarations may affect abnormal stock returns behavior. Confirmation of good rumors has increased the efficiency of abnormal stock returns 10 days after the date of the given declaration and approval of bad rumors has led to reducing the efficiency of abnormal stock returns upon declaration day. Similarly, the results showed that if rumors were disclosed during working hours in Tehran Stock Market they would reduce the efficiency of abnormal stock returns on the same day. After comparing the results of the research, the need to educate and promote the shareholding culture among shareholders is felt more than ever before. They also need to shift their focus from focusing on rumors to principled investing in futures stocks to avoid cross-sectional fluctuations, destructive rumors and other market risks and achieve a good return stock
