Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Using machine learning methods to conduct a textual analysis of city government work reports in China, we measure the specificity of government disclosures and examine whether this specificity affects stock pricing efficiency. We find that more specific forward-looking information disclosed by local governments is associated with lower stock price synchronicity among local listed companies. This effect is more pronounced for companies operating in environments with high economic policy uncertainty.
