                      [6 cont] A nice discussion from @filomezza, whose paper with Sabrina Howell kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/mezzanotti/documents/tax_credit_hm.pdf finds many similar answers where their questions overlap. Increase in “angel activity,” but inframarginal population may NOT be the “right” ones (for some policy goals)?

Model where knowledge NOT a typical input to production, but rather an OUTCOME of economic activity (cf Arrow 1969)

                  [7 cont] (Not my lemma) Key: Knowledge is created while operating new technologies - Firms become experimentation-averse after exploration - Firms experiment through investment once they overcome this phase Paper also takes theory to data using text-based knowledge measures

                [8] Insider trading and hacked earnings news: Massive data work to figure out which earnings announcements used press release companies that had been exposed to hacking, and compare to high-frequency trading data around annoucement (stock and options).

              [8 cont] Big effects (price, volume, a million measures of insider trading). Including in put options markets. Hot tip: Don’t do this. Also, looks like professional/algo traders amplify these effects by following informed insiders. cnbc.com/2020/01/27/trump-foe-michael-avenatti-searched-nike-options-insider-trading.html

            [8 cont] @FosVyacheslav with a nice discussion that connects explicitly to recent work on race bias in policing! @jonmummolo/1219694149424861184 Unlike many papers on insider trading, there’s data here on a number of *potentially* hacked announcements.👍

          [9] Horizon Bias and the Term Structure of Equity Returns: Extend @MarkusEconomist and Parker (2005) in multi-period model. Intuition: You get utility from anticipated consumption, and have more time to enjoy anticipation for long term.

        [9 cont] Consistent with model - More optimistic predictions over long-horizon than short- (several contexts, incl equty analyst forecasts) - Especially w. positive skewness Helps explain equity returns’ down-sloping term structure! (Beliefs; cf most discount-rate explanations).

      [10] Duration-Driven Returns: Cross-sectional asset pricing paper arguing that most equity risk factors invest disproportinately in firms with shorter-term cash flows. (Using realized growth rates or IBES forecasts.) Complementary evidence from single-stock dividend futures.
