PRESS COVERAGE AND STOCK PRICE DEVIATION FROM FUNDAMENTAL VALUE
研究发现过高的媒体报道水平会显著放大股价偏离基本面价值的程度,且这种效应在估值较高的股票中更为明显,与媒体引发的情绪和媒体偏见有关。
Abstract We find that excessively high levels of press coverage can significantly exaggerate stock price deviation from fundamental value. We show that being “in the news” a lot is associated with both greater liquidity and more information risk. When we examine signed mispricing, we find that the effect of abnormal press coverage is significant only for stocks with high relative valuations, consistent with the concurrent existences of media‐induced sentiment and media bias. Indeed, we uncover that the sentiment effect is attenuated when firms with low valuations receive heavy coverage in the local press.
