Excited to share a new paper on how social interactions trigger and amplify lottery stock mania. Looking forward to your comments!

[Social Finance, David Hirshleifer @4misceldah]

“Social Interactions and Lottery Stock Mania”
Heightened social media activity about a stock predicts extreme daily price run-ups. Heavy social media discussion of such lottery event stocks is followed by heavy retail buying—espec. by Robinhood users—and then lower returns. /1

Excited to share that our new paper (with Linyi Zhang) is now published in Management Science: "Unleashing the Crowd: The Effect of Social Networks in #Crowdfunding Markets." #SocialNetworks increase project visibility, disseminate information, and shape capital allocation.

[Lin Peng @LinPengFin]

Key findings:
• Investors 50% more likely to fund projects peers support
• 11% more likely to fund projects from regions with strong social ties
• Effects amplified on platforms prioritizing transparency
• Social networks help mitigate negative impacts of disasters on funding

[Lin Peng @LinPengFin]

Key insights:
1. Analysts’ perceived trustworthiness and dominance positively linked to forecast accuracy.
2. Perceptions of dominance improves male analysts’ career outcomes, but substantially hurts female analysts’ career outcomes. Full paper: https://t.co/DGicbJanF2

Happy to share that my paper, Face Value: Trait Inference, Performance Characteristics, and Market Outcomes for Financial Analysts, with Siew Hong Teoh, Yakun Wang and Jiawen Yan, has been recognized as one of the most widely read papers published by the JAR.

[Lin Peng @LinPengFin]

We apply social psychology and #AI to study first impressions about financial Analysts. We find that analysts’ perceived trustworthiness and dominance improve forecast accuracy, whereas attractiveness improves accuracy only for new analysts or in firms with new management.
