MoveOn
Textual analysis has become an established method for predicting stock returns and firm behavior in the finance and accounting literature. Our department works on several projects that analyze public disclosure documents of firms or social media content. We invite anyone to support our research efforts in this field or has the aim of following his own research agenda to contact us about potential ideas.
Task
Depending on your goals, you can either engage in statistical analyses of existing data on textual documents or help with preparing a new dataset of textual documents, for example by means of webcrawling.
Requirements
If you want to follow your own research agenda, you need to have some knowledge of statistical analyses. If you want to help us with creating a new database, you need to have some knowledge in Python or other programming skills.
