  • Good Day Sunshine: Stock Returns and the Weather
    THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE VOL. LVIII, NO. 3 JUNE 2003 Good Day Sunshine: Stock Returns and theWeather DAVID HIRSHLEIFER and TYLER SHUMWAY n ABSTRACT Psychological evidence and casual intuition predict that sunny weather is as- sociated with upbeat mood. This paper examines the relationship between morning sunshine in the city of a country’s leading stock exchange and daily market index returns across 26 countries from 1982 to 1997. Sunshine is strongly signi¢cantly correlated with stock returns. After controlling for sun- shine, rain and snow are unrelated to returns. Substantial use of weather- based strategies was optimal for a trader with very low transactions costs. However, because these strategies involve frequent trades, fairly modest costs eliminate the gains.These ¢ndings are di⁄cult to reconcile with fully rational price setting. SUNSHINE AFFECTS MOOD, as evidenced by song and verse, daily experience, and formal psychological studies. But does sunlight a¡ect the stock market? The traditional e⁄cient markets view says no, with minor quali¢cations. If sun- light a¡ects the weather, it can a¡ect agricultural and perhaps other weather- related ¢rms. But in modern economies in which agriculture plays a modest role, it seems unlikely that whether it is cloudy outside the stock exchange today should a¡ect the rational price of the nation’s stock market index. (Even in coun- tries where agriculture plays a large role, it is not clear that one day of sunshine versus cloud cover at the stock exchange should be very informative about har- vest yield.) An alternative view is that sunlight a¡ects mood, and that people tend to eval- uate future prospects more optimistically when they are in a good mood than when they are in a bad mood.

  • The Impact of Institutional Trading on Stock Prices*
    Journal of Financial Economics 31(1992) 13-43. North-Holland The impact of institutional trading on stock prices* Josef Lakonishok Cnirersity of Illinois at (;rbana-Champaign. Champuign. IL 61820. USA Andrei Shleifer Hurcard tiniwrsir~. Cambridge. MA 02138. L’SA Robert W. Vishny L’nicersiry 01’ Chicago, Chicago. IL 60637, USA Received September 1991, tinal version received March 1992 This paper uses new data on the holdings of 769 tax-exempt (predominantly pension) funds. to evaluate the potential effect of their trading on stock prices. We address two aspects of trading by these money managers: herding, which refers to buying (selling) simultaneously the same stocks as other managers buy (sell), and positive-feedback trading, which refers to buying past winners and selling past losers. These two aspects of trading are commonly a part of the argument that institutions destabilize stock prices. The evidence suggests that pension managers do not strongly pursue these potentially destabilizing practices. 1. Introduction Instead of merely buying and holding the market portfolio, most investors follow strategies of actively picking and trading stocks. When investors trade actively, their buying and selling decisions may move stock prices. Understand- ing the behavior of stock prices thus requires an understanding of the invest- ment strategies of active investors. Correspondence ro: Robert W.

Summary in Dutch Deze masterthesis heeft getracht te onderzoeken wat de impact is van waarschuwingssignalen op het handelsgedrag van individuele investeerders. Naar aanleiding van de financiële crisis in 2007-2009, werd de MiFID-wetgeving aanzienlijk verstrengd ter bescherming van de particuliere, vaak onwetende, investeerder. Beursvennootschappen of andere financiële tussenpersonen die beleggingsdiensten, zijnde vermogensbeheer en beleggingsadvies, aanbieden aan ‘retail investors’ zijn rechtswege verplicht een waarschuwingssignaal in de vorm van een negatief, neutraal of positief advies te verstrekken bij elke aankoop- en verkooptransactie die de cliënt wenst te verrichten (European Parliament; The Council, 2014). Hiervoor werd een experiment uiteengezet die een virtuele, financiële omgeving creëerde waar participanten investeringsbeslissingen konden nemen doorheen verschillende handelsperiodes. Participanten

  • Earnings Management and the Long-Run Market Performance of Initial Public Offerings
    THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE • VOL. LIII, NO. 6 • DECEMBER 1998 Earnings Management and the Long-Run Market Performance of Initial Public Offerings SIEW HONG TEOH, IVO WELCH, and T. J. WONG* ABSTRACT Issuers of initial public offerings ~IPOs! can report earnings in excess of cash flows by taking positive accruals. This paper provides evidence that issuers with unusu- ally high accruals in the IPO year experience poor stock return performance in the three years thereafter. IPO issuers in the most “aggressive” quartile of earnings managers have a three-year aftermarket stock return of approximately 20 percent less than IPO issuers in the most “conservative” quartile. They also issue about 20 percent fewer seasoned equity offerings. These differences are statistically and economically significant in a variety of specifications. SEVERAL STUDIES FIND THAT INITIAL public offerings ~IPOs! underperform after the issue.1 Over a three-year holding period after the offering, Ritter ~1991! reports substantially lower stock returns ~mean of 227 percent and median of 255 percent! for a sample of 1,526 IPOs going public between 1975 and *Teoh is at the University of Michigan, Welch is at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Wong is at the University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong.

  • Social Transmission Bias in Economics and Finance
    THE JOURNAL OF FINANCE • VOL. , NO. 0 • APRIL 2020 Presidential Address: Social Transmission Bias in Economics and Finance DAVID HIRSHLEIFER∗ ABSTRACT I discuss a new intellectual paradigm, social economics and finance—the study of the social processes that shape economic thinking and behavior. This emerging field recog- nizes that people observe and talk to each other. A key, underexploited building block of social economics and finance is social transmission bias: systematic directional shift in signals or ideas induced by social transactions. I use five “fables” (models) to illustrate the novelty and scope of the transmission bias approach, and offer sev- eral emergent themes. For example, social transmission bias compounds recursively, which can help explain booms, bubbles, return anomalies, and swings in economic sentiment. THIS ADDRESS DISCUSSES A NEW intellectual paradigm, which I call social eco- nomics and finance—the study of how social interaction affects economic out- comes. In standard analyses of economic behavior, people interact only imper- sonally via trading orders and observation of market price. A missing chapter in our understanding of finance consists of the social processes that shape economic thinking and behavior. Social economics and finance recognizes that people observe each other and talk to each other, where talking includes written text and social media. A key but underexploited intellectual building block of social economics and finance is social transmission bias, the systematic directional modification of ideas or signals as they pass from person to person. ∗David Hirshleifer is at Merage School of Business, University of California. This paper was the Presidential Address of the American Finance Association at the 2020 Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA.

The idea that psychology plays a role in influencing the stock market can be dated back to Adam Smith who wrote about individual’s behavior in his work Theory of Moral Sentiments. It wasn’t until the latter half of the 20th century that behavioral economics became accepted as a counter to Eugene Fama’s widely accepted theory of Efficient Market Hypothesis.
