主题：Public Attention, Private Attention and Mutual Funds’ Global Allocation
报告人：李溦，上海财经大学商学院副教授
摘要：Using micro-level data on mutual funds’ global portfolios, we investigate how a fund’s investment in a destination country is affected by public attention, measured by Google search volume. We show that (i) more public attention from a fund’s registration country to its destination country significantly increases the fund’s portfolio allocation in that country; (ii) more public attention from a third country to its destination country drives out the fund’s portfolio allocation in this country; (iii) the effects of public attention are stronger if the fund adopts an index-based passive strategy, takes no leverage, invests in value or small-cap stocks, or if the destination country has higher public information intensity. We provide a model to explain these findings, in which higher public attention improves the precision of fund managers’ prior beliefs, and encourages them to allocate more private attention and investment to the destination country.
