Research on the Impact of Investor Site Visits on the Market Reaction Caused by Rumors

Based on the perspective of investor information acquisition,this paper uses a sample of companies listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2017 to empirically test whether investor site visits can reduce the market reaction caused by rumors,and discusses the mechanism of action from the intermediary role of investor trading behavior.The study finds that investor site visits has significantly reduced the market reaction caused by rumors through making market trading behaviors more rational,and this effect is more pronounced in the companies which have experienced significant changes in current performance.The above results are still established after a series of robustness tests,indicating that investor site visits can improve market pricing efficiency through strengthening the ability of the capital market to distinguish rumors.Further testing finds that the participation of investors in research activities and the disclosure of research information both help to improve the rational decision-making level,and investor site visits significantly improve the timeliness of the companies’clarification announcements of rumors.
