摘要:Merkley et al. (2023) examine how cryptocurrency influencers recommend digital coins on Twitter (X) and the associated price effects. They report that influencers may exploit market investors via potential pump and dump schemes. While plausible, researchers may develop a broader understanding of influencers' incentives and their influence by considering how investors engage these markets for social identity needs that enhance utility. Social-psychological research indicates that someone's soci...

We predict that more disclosures in tax footnotes mitigate investors' concerns over the agency risk of managers engaging in potentially illegal tax avoidance and improve the transparency of firm performance, thus increasing firm valuation. Consistent with the prediction, we find that the market valuation of tax avoidance increases when firms' tax footnotes disclose more...

摘要:We draw on (Merton, The Journal of Finance 42:483-510, 1987) to develop predictions for the benefits of voluntary disclosures by firms pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) prior to when they begin providing regulated financial information via their IPO prospectus.

Consistent with these disclosures enhancing investor awareness,...

Our findings are robust to various controls and placebo tests. Additional analyses...
