讲座主题：Institutional Trading around Corporate News: Evidence from Textual Analysis

摘要：We examine institutional trading surrounding corporate news by combining a comprehensive database of news releases for U.S. firms with a high-frequency database of institutional trades. We find that institutions chiefly trade on news content directly after a given news release. Institutions trade more intensely on news related to firm fundamentals, with a less ambiguous content, and with more intense media coverage. News-driven institutional trades result in abnormal returns during the following two weeks. Our results suggest that institutional investors process the general supply of firm-specific public information in a timely manner, and contribute to the informational efficiency of stock prices.
