Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the impact of retail investor attention on a firm’s investment efficiency. We found that retail investor attention is positively associated with a firm’s investment efficiency by means of baseline regression. Further analyses show that the impact of retail investor attention is more pronounced in firms with lower social regulation, small market capitalization, non-state-owned, and non-Big 4 auditing. The association is robust to a series of robustness checks, and the results are in line with our expectations. This provides us with a new perspective to measure the return on investment of firms. Therefore, the retail investor attention even has a crucial impact on the company’s future governance and corporate decisions.
