Specifically, we conduct an experiment with buy-side analysts and fund managers in which we manipulate whether the forecasts are released to colleagues and clients or kept private, and whether the mutual fund has made an investment in the stock based on the recommendation of the analyst. We posit and find evidence that when forecasts are made available to other colleagues and clients, participants’ forecasts are more positive when the mutual fund has a holding (versus no holding) in a stock based on the buy-side analysts’ recommendations. These forecasts are also more optimistic than a control group where participants have an accuracy goal. This effect disappears when the forecasts are kept private. In a supplementary experiment, we document that the effect is conscious, consistent with a strategic justification mechanism. |
