Adoption is higher when younger, female, extroverted, or facing higher litigation risk. SEC’s 2013 guidance lowers adoption rate at high litigation risk firms.
Executives seem to view Twitter as an important disclosure channel
Executives’ financial tweets lead to investor reaction beyond that of firms
\[ \scriptsize \begin{array}{l c c} \hline & \text{During trading hours} & \text{Before trading hours} \\ \text{Variable} & \left|MMR_{t}\right| & \left|MMR_{t}\right| \\ \hline \text{Fin tweets, Exec} & -0.025^{**} \\ & (-2.22) & \\ \text{Fin tweets, Exec} \times \text{Similarity} & 0.074^{**} \\ & (2.26) & \\ \text{Fin tweets, Exec} \times \text{No firm tweets} & 0.026^{**} \\ & (2.35) & \\ \text{Fin tweets, Exec} & & -0.014^{***} \\ & & (-3.17) \\ \text{Fin tweets, Exec} \times \text{Similarity} & & 0.046^{***} \\ & & (3.30) \\ \text{Fin tweets, Exec} \times \text{No firm tweets} & & 0.017^{***} \\ & & (3.41) \\ \text{Controls; Firm, Exec, Year, Month FE} & \text{Yes} & \text{Yes}\\ \hline \end{array} \]
Result is consistent with Trust driving investor reaction to exec financial tweets.
We identify how content-wise similar each exec tweet is to corresponding firm tweets via Universal Sentence Encoder (USE).
USE is a neural network method that relies on word meaning and word order to determine sentence meanings. It does not rely on word choice.
USE abstracts away from word choice!

How does a populace’s emotion about reopening with COVID impact economic recovery?
Over 13,000 images in this sample that include people in them
In SG, those that post pictures of people wearing masks properly exhibit ~5% less fear than those that post people without masks on (\(t=586\))
We can leverage social media to understand macro phenomena or the environment micro-econ phenomena occur in
