内容简介：This paper studies how shocks to government stewardship are reflected in capital markets, using police-involved killings as salient public events. Using bond-level data from the U.S. municipal primary market from 2000 to 2019, we show that police-involved killings increase municipal bond offering spreads. Instrumental variable estimates imply that one additional fatal encounter in the prior 12 months raises spreads by about 6 basis points, with larger effects for incidents receiving greater media coverage. These responses reflect heightened fiscal risk, weakened confidence in local stewardship, and social disruption amplified by local investor exposure, extending the economic consequences beyond litigation and settlement costs.
