Abstract
ABSTRACT Investor conference has been adapted from conference call but allows substantial managerial controllability over its timing and disclosures during the meeting. The announcement of holding such a meeting is posited to have information content. We examine investors’ positive prospect utilizing the announcements during growth period of Taiwanese semiconductor supply chain (TSSC). TSSC’s disintegration into upstream, midstream, and downstream firms further allows tests for information transfer vertically among three subgroups. We find supportive evidence that all three subgroups show significantly positive cumulative abnormal returns surrounding the upstream firm’s announcement of an upcoming investor conference. Notably, the spillover effect is stronger for industry peers with shorter vertical distance to the announcing firm.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
