Language and Management Forecasts around the World

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 33 - Other conference paper

Abstract

We predict that investors who speak weak future-time reference (FTR) languages are more concerned about the future prospects of the companies they invest in and, hence, demand more forward-looking information from these companies. We find that firms in weak-FTR language countries exhibit a greater propensity and frequency of issuing management forecasts. Within the same countries, firms with more foreign institutional ownership from weak-FTR countries issue more management forecasts than their counterparts. After having their shares traded in the stock market of a weak-FTR country, foreign firms from strong-FTR countries significantly increase their management forecast propensity and frequency.
