  摘要：Using unique data on investor views of EDGAR company filings, we document that many investors engage in governance research. However, investors' monitoring is disproportionately focused on large firms and firms with meetings outside the busy spring proxy season. Using an instrumental variables approach that isolates the drop in governance attention during the busy proxy season, we show that governance research is related to investors' monitoring of firms, through voice and exit. Moreover, gove...
• Portfolio Pumping and Managerial Structure AI翻译

  摘要：Using U.S. equity mutual fund data, we show that portfolio pumping-an illegal trading activity that artificially inflates year- and quarter-end portfolio returns-is more pronounced among single-managed funds compared with team-managed ones. The return inflation by team-managed funds is 45% lower than by single-managed funds at year-ends. Also, portfolio pumping decreases as team size increases. These results are driven by peer effects among teams and, sometimes, amplified by less convex flow-p...

  摘要：The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted financial markets and the real economy worldwide. These extraordinary events prompted large monetary and fiscal policy interventions. Recognizing the unusual nature of the shock, the academic community has produced an impressive amount of research during the last year. Macro-finance models have been extended to analyze the impact of epidemics. Empirical papers study the origins and consequences of the disruptions and the impact of policy interventions. ...
• Idiosyncratic Risk in Housing Markets AI翻译
  作者：Giacoletti, Marco
  作者单位：University of Southern California
  摘要：This paper studies the idiosyncratic risk component of individual house capital gains using data on resales and intermediate capital investments. The idiosyncratic component is large; its dynamics do not follow a random walk; and its magnitude is associated with proxies of information quality and market liquidity at the level of individual properties. Accounting for idiosyncratic risk substantially changes the assessment of the risk-return trade-off for housing: it reduces Sharpe ratios and ma...
• Cyclical Fluctuations, Financial Shocks, and the Entry of Fast-Growing Entrepreneurial Startups AI翻译

  摘要：We analyze a multiyear, multicountry entrepreneurship survey with more than one million observations to identify startups with low and high growth potential. We confirm the validity of these ex ante measures with ex post firm-level information on employment growth. We find that negative aggregate financial shocks reduce all startup types, but their effect is significantly stronger for startups with high growth potential, especially when GDP growth is low. Our results uncover a new composition ...
• CAPM-Based Company (Mis)valuations AI翻译

  摘要：There is a discrepancy between CAPM-implied and realized returns. Using the CAPM in capital budgeting-as recommended in textbooks-should thus have real effects. For instance, low beta projects should be valued more by CAPM users than by the market. We test this hypothesis using M&A data and show that bids for low-beta private targets entail lower bidder returns. We provide further support by testing several ancillary predictions. Our analyses suggest that using the CAPM when valuing targets le...
• The Effect of Bank Supervision and Examination on Risk Taking: Evidence from a Natural Experiment AI翻译
  作者：Kandrac, John; Schlusche, Bernd

  摘要：We exploit an exogenous reduction in bank supervision and examination to demonstrate a causal effect of supervisory oversight on financial institutions' risk taking. The additional risk took the form of risky lending, faster asset growth, and a greater reliance on low-quality capital. This response to less oversight boosted banks' odds of failure. Lastly, we show that the reduction in oversight capacity led to more costly failures because there were longer delays in closing insolvent instituti...
• Investor Protection and Capital Fragility: Evidence from Hedge Funds around the World AI翻译

  摘要：We find that capital flows to hedge funds in different countries are influenced by the strength and the enforcement of investor protection laws. Hedge funds located in weak investor protection countries exhibit greater sensitivity of investor outflow to poor performance, relative to funds in countries with strong protection. Furthermore, weak investor protection is associated with fund managers engaging in greater returns management. Our findings suggest that in countries with weaker investor ...
• The Origins and Real Effects of the Gender Gap: Evidence from CEOs' Formative Years AI翻译

  摘要：Using individual census records, we provide novel evidence on CEOs' socioeconomic backgrounds and study their role in investment decisions. Male CEOs allocate more investment capital to male than female division managers. This gender gap is driven by CEOs who grew up in male-dominated families where the father was the only income earner and had more education than the mother. The gender gap also increases for CEOs who attended all-male high schools and grew up in neighborhoods with greater gen...
• The Macroeconomics of Epidemics AI翻译

  摘要：We extend the canonical epidemiology model to study the interaction between economic decisions and epidemics. Our model implies that people cut back on consumption and work to reduce the chances of being infected. These decisions reduce the severity of the epidemic but exacerbate the size of the associated recession. The competitive equilibrium is not socially optimal because infected people do not fully internalize the effect of their economic decisions on the spread of the virus. In our benc...
