Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Robinhood investors systematically favor firms with lower accounting and organizational complexity. • The negative complexity effect persists after controlling for firm size. • Investor attention attenuates the negative effect of accounting complexity on Robinhood investor participation. • Simple firms favored by Robinhood investors subsequently earn higher returns than complex firms. • Cognitive frictions help explain Robinhood investor portfolio decisions beyond traditional risk-return considerations.
