摘要：We examine whether ownership by benchmarked investors constrains short sellers' ability to quickly cover their positions following positive earnings news and thereby exacerbates price pressure from short covering. We find that high benchmarked ownership is related to greater price overshooting in highly shorted stocks at positive earnings announcements. This effect is driven by benchmarked ownership amplifying both price and volume impacts of short covering. Exploring shocks from Russell index...

摘要：We study how working remotely impacts employee job satisfaction and retention using unique data on the remote work arrangements of nearly 165,000 employees. Our findings show that the positive association between working remotely more frequently and job satisfaction diminishes substantially after controlling for employee compensation, occupation, demographics, and workplace characteristics (e.g., feeling appreciated at work). Moreover, remote work is associated with a higher intention to leave...

摘要：Loyalty programs are widespread across various markets, offering members rewards based on their past purchases for future benefits. This study offers new insights into the strategic use of loyalty programs and their impact on market competition by explor-ing the dynamics of loyalty programs within a repeated ordered search framework, in which consumers sequentially search for the optimal product across multiple firms over two peri-ods. Our findings highlight distinct roles for price discounts ...

摘要：We address the issues of unequal restroom access for women and LGBTQ+ individuals, known as the potty parity problem. We propose a utility model in which users consider gender identity, wait time, and safety concerns when choosing restrooms. We evaluate different layouts' efficiency measured by the total utilities (as in the utilitarian principle) and assess their fairness using the measures of the minimum utility gain (as in the Rawlsian fairness) and the gap between maximum and minimum gains...

摘要：This paper studies the predictability of ultrahigh-frequency stock returns and durations to relevant price, volume, and transaction events using machine learning methods. We find that contrary to low-frequency and long-horizon returns, where predictability is rare and inconsistent, predictability in high-frequency returns and durations is large, systematic, and pervasive over short horizons. We identify the relevant predictors constructed from trades and quotes data, and we examine what determ...

摘要：We uncover a new price pattern: The stock systematic component exhibits momentum. This systematic momentum further yields a return momentum: Stocks sorted by systematic component have persistent positive returns. In comparison with the extremely popular and extensively studied momentum sorted by return, which is valid only monthly, our systematic return momentum holds intraday, daily, weekly, and monthly. Furthermore, our systematic momentum, the strongest ever discovered, is different from th...

摘要：We recover forward-looking expected net-of-fee abnormal returns (alphas) for active equity mutual funds from analyst ratings. In contrast to the typical equilibrium implication of zero alphas, analyst alphas are negative for most funds, but positive for the largest funds. We compare analysts' subjective expectations with expectations from a rational expectations learning model. The model's rational learner believes that an increase in fund size leads to a decrease in returns, but we find no ev...

摘要：Assembling novel data sets on online advertiser spending, performance, and revenue, we quantify the economic effects of Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) privacy policy on e-commerce firms. We find that conversion-optimized Meta advertisements, affected most by ATT, saw a 37% reduction in click-through rates after ATT. Although firms responded by shifting ad spending from Meta to the Google ecosystem, firms with higher baseline Meta dependence nevertheless experienced a substantial decli...

摘要：We consider a setting in which a platform matches buyers and sellers, who then wish to transact with each other multiple times. The platform charges fees for hosting transactions but also offers convenience benefits. We consider two scenarios. In one scenario, all transactions must occur on the platform; in the other scenario, buyers and sellers can disintermediate the platform after the first transaction and do subsequent transactions offline. We find that the platform reacts to disintermedia...

摘要：We examine the cross-section of returns from the perspective of a benchmark model that only includes systematic mispricing factors. In contrast to conclusions from standard benchmark models, we recover robust positive risk-return relations for many cross-sectional risk, distress, and friction proxies. Our findings are consistent with systematic mispricing that primarily affects speculative stocks and predominantly results in overpricing, predicting lower returns. Hence, failing to control for ...
