主    题 Employee Sentiment and Stock Returns

演讲者 Prof.  Chen Jian  Professor, Xiamen University

摘    要We propose an employee sentiment index, which complements investor sentiment and manager sentiment indices, and find that high employee sentiment predicts a subsequent low market return, significant both in- and out-of-sample. The predictability can also deliver sizable economic gains for mean-variance investors. The employee sentiment’s impact is more likely to be stronger among employees who work in the headquarters state and among less experienced employees. The economic driving force of the predictability is distinct: high employee sentiment leads to high contemporaneous wage growth due to immobility, which in turn results in subsequently lower firm cash flow and lower stock return.
