Abstract

This paper examines the distinct impacts of geography and culture on financial information production. Utilizing data from LinkedIn, we categorize Chinese-concept stock analysts into two groups: those working in China and those with a Chinese cultural background. We identify two sources of local advantages: geographical proximity, stemming from the information-access channel, and cultural familiarity, originating from the information-process channel. Additionally, our findings indicate that local advantages reduce stock return synchronicity, and investors can recognize revisions made by geographically proximate analysts.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Empirical Finance is a financial economics journal whose aim is to publish high quality articles in empirical finance. Empirical finance is interpreted broadly to include any type of empirical work in financial economics, financial econometrics, and also theoretical work with clear empirical implications, even when there is no empirical analysis. The Journal welcomes articles in all fields of finance, such as asset pricing, corporate finance, financial econometrics, banking, international finance, microstructure, behavioural finance, etc. The Editorial Team is willing to take risks on innovative research, controversial papers, and unusual approaches. We are also particularly interested in work produced by young scholars. The composition of the editorial board reflects such goals.
