This study uses Google Search Volume Index (SVI) and media coverage as proxy variables for investor attention. This paper aims to explore the impact of investor attention on returns and performance of constitute companies in Taiwan 50 Index. When discussing the impact of SVI on the stock returns, the sample period is from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 on daily basis. Then we discuss the impact of SVI and media coverage on stock returns and company performance. The sample period is from January, 2009 to December, 2018 on monthly basis. This study uses Panel Data regression model to do the empirical analysis. The results show that: (1)The daily SVI has a significantly positive impact on daily stock returns. (2)There are significantly positive impacts of monthly SVI on ROA and ROE, but the monthly SVI does not have significant impact on monthly stock returns. Perhaps the monthly SVI is unable to timely respond investor attention. (3) The media coverage of company names has significantly positive correlation with monthly stock returns and the ROA, but no significant impact on ROE. The higher investor attention is, the more likely investors entering the stock market, which makes stock returns and company performance higher. |
