What was the motive behind your analysis of media narratives and their impact on financial markets?

Intuitively, we expect the stories that investors read, share and talk about with their friends, colleagues and counter-parties to influence their macroeconomic views, impact their decisions to buy or sell assets and in turn, affect asset prices. Today, coverage of geo-political risk, supply chain disruptions, rising inflation, and rapid deterioration of the climate are all examples of highly prevalent narratives influencing investment decision-making. However, recent works including a seminal book by Nobel laureate Robert Shiller develop the theory of narrative economics that is often demonstrated with powerful examples, but my co-authors and I thought that the literature has a gap insofar as connecting narrative economics to financial markets and coming up with investment management applications. We wanted to explore whether narratives could be systematically quantified from media coverage data and if so, whether investors can use media-based measures of narratives to improve their understanding of aggregate- and firm-level risks, their ability to gain (or hedge) exposures to evolving stories, and ultimately achieve better investment outcomes.

Je cherchais depuis longtemps une solution pour vapoter sans contraintes, mais aussi sans sacrifier l’aspect économique. Les puffs jetables étaient pratiques, mais leur prix cumulé devenait important à la fin du mois. J’ai décidé de chercher une alternative plus durable, mais tout aussi simple. En explorant les options disponibles, j’ai découvert la puff rechargeable puff Vapeol. Ce que j’ai aimé tout de suite, c’est la possibilité de conserver le même appareil et simplement changer le liquide. L’utilisation reste intuitive, aucun bouton, pas de menu compliqué, juste une recharge et c’est reparti. Je pense que ce genre de produit correspond bien à ceux qui veulent rester dans un format compact tout en adoptant une approche plus responsable. C’est aussi plus économique…
