讲座主题：Financial Literacy and Stock Returns
摘要：We develop a new measure of retail investors’ financial literacy using textual analysis of social media data. and show that it effectively distinguishes between investors with high and low financial literacy. Further, by constructing a firm-level textual financial literacy indicator, we find that the stocks of firms whose investors have high (vs. low) textual financial literacy have statistically and economically significant higher returns than their peers. We find that relative to investors with low financial literacy, those with high financial literacy are more informed, have better valuation skills, and are more rational in their investment decisions. Our findings shed light on the role of financial literacy in asset pricing.
