摘要：This paper introduces a key factor influencing households' decision to invest in the stock market: how people view stockholders. Using surveys we conducted with nearly 8,500 individuals from 11 countries, we document that a large majority hold negative views of stockholders based on identity-relevant characteristics. Linking survey and administrative data, we find that negative perceptions strongly predict households' stock market participation. We show that negative perceptions causally influ...

摘要：Between 2009 and 2011, the Spanish banking system underwent a restructuring process based on savings banks' consolidation. The program's design allows us to study how banks' consolidation affects credit supply and performance. We propose a quasi-experimental analysis showing that bank mergers restrict credit supply and set higher interest rates but also reject fewer applicants and report fewer nonperforming loans. We then estimate a structural model of credit in which banks set interest rates ...

摘要：We extract information about future economic conditions from firms' cross-border merger and acquisition announcements, and show it predicts changes in relative economic growth rates and foreign exchange rate returns. We find the predictability is driven by the acquisition decisions of domestic firms, which signal turning points in local economic growth. The findings are motivated by a simple model of exchange rate determination with heterogeneous expectations and support the theorized relation...

摘要：We study the importance of production networks for the transmission of monetary policy using the stock market reaction as laboratory. We attribute 55% to 85% of the overall response to network effects. Large network effects are a robust feature of the data; we document similar patterns in realized fundamentals. Matching sparsity and the first two outdegrees industry-by-industry can explain large network effects. A simple model with intermediate inputs predicts the reaction of stock returns fol...

摘要：Debt matters for oil supply elasticities. We document the resiliency of oil production to the COVID-19-related collapse in demand due to indebtedness. We use exogenous variation in the timing of debt-related payments to identify financially constrained operators. We show that more financially constrained firms cut production by less than less-constrained firms and were less likely to complete new wells. To explore the mechanisms, we use borrowing-limit cuts and credit-line drawdowns to measure...

摘要：We measure popular sentiment toward finance by applying a large language model to millions of books published in eight countries over hundreds of years. We extensively validate this measure both internally and externally. We document persistent differences in finance sentiment across countries despite ample time-series variation. Books written in the languages of more capitalist countries discuss finance in a more positive context. Finance sentiment is correlated with survey-based measures of ...

摘要：Liquidity provision is often attributed to debt-issuing intermediaries like banks. We develop a unified theoretical framework and empirically show that mutual funds issuing demandable equity also provide an economically significant amount of liquidity by insuring against idiosyncratic liquidity shocks. Quantitatively, bond funds provide 12.5% of the liquidity that banks provide per dollar. Our model further shows that when equity values incorporate the liquidation cost from redemptions, as in ...

摘要：We study Algorithmic Market Makers (AMs) that use Q-learning algorithms to set prices for a risky asset. We find that while AMs successfully adapt to adverse selection, they struggle to learn competitive pricing strategies. This failure is driven by limited experimentation and noisy feedback regarding the profitability of undercutting a competitor. Consequently, an increase in AMs' profit volatility tends to result in less competitive market outcomes. These features leave identifiable patterns...

摘要：A fundamental concern about green investing is that it may crowd out political support for public policies addressing negative externalities. We examine this concern in a preregistered experiment conducted shortly before a real referendum on a climate law in Switzerland. We find that offering an opportunity to invest in a climate-friendly fund does not reduce individual support for climate regulation, measured by political donations and voting intentions. A replication of the experiment in the...

摘要：We present and discuss the papers in this special issue. We use the themes that these papers study to illustrate interesting new directions that are being pursued in the household finance literature and highlight open questions on which more work is needed.
