| Περιγραφή: | Using automated content analysis, we measure the tone of Covid-related newspaper articles. This tone, unlike the actual Covid mortality statistics, appears to predict future stock returns in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is debatable, however, to what degree such findings should be viewed as a manifestation of investors’ irrationality. This is because our media optimism index appears to be a reliable prognosticator of the number of coronavirus deaths and the future growth in industrial production. Clearly, in this case, journalistic news coverage was forward-looking and informative to stock market participants. |
