讲座内容摘要:
We explore the causal effect of managerial sentiment on firms’ cost stickiness, using terrorist attacks as an exogenous source driving psychological changes in managerial sentiment. We find that firms located in the attacked metropolitan areas experienced a significant decline in cost stickiness for the first two fiscal quarters after the terrorist attacks. We further find that the effect is more pronounced for firms with inexperienced, less-confident or short-horizon CEOs; and when attack events are more salient and managers have limited prior exposure to negative events. Our main findings are robust to a variety of additional tests. Overall, our study suggests that shocks induced by exogenous negative events affect managerial sentiment. In turn, they shape managers’ real operating decisions.
本文利用恐怖袭击作为驱动管理层情绪心理变化的外源,探讨了管理层情绪对企业成本粘性的因果影响。我们发现,恐怖袭击发生后的前两个财政季度,位于受袭击大都市地区的公司的成本粘性显著下降。我们进一步发现,对于首席执行官缺乏经验、信心不足或目光短浅的公司,这种影响更为明显;以及当攻击事件更加突出,管理者之前接触负面事件的次数有限时。总体而言,我们的研究表明,外源性负面事件引发的冲击会影响管理情绪。反过来,它们塑造了管理者真正的经营决策。
