This article study the relationship between equity incentive and the Idiosyncratic volatility of the stocks. Based on the data among the A-share listed companies, the article use the dual fixed-effect method with industry and time fixed to build a model and use Stata to do the empirical analysis. As a result, the study shows that equity incentive increases the idiosyncratic volatility of the stock, and impact of equity incentive on idiosyncratic volatility is more pronounced in non-state-owned firms, with fewer analysts and a lower ratio of institutional investors. Robustness is checked by replacing different equity incentive variables and adding lag items.
