Analysts rely on EDGAR in 24% of their estimate updates with an average of eight filings viewed. We document that analysts’ attention to public information is driven by the demand for information and the analysts’ incentives and career concerns. We find that information acquisition via EDGAR is associated with a significant reduction in analysts’ forecasting error relative to their peers. This relationship is likewise present when we focus on the intensity of analyst research. Attention to public information further enables analysts to provide forecasts for more time periods and more financial metrics. Informed recommendation updates are associated with substantial and persistent abnormal returns, even when the analyst accesses historical filings. Analysts’ use of EDGAR is associated with longer and more informative analysis within recommendation reports.10aFinance1 aGibbons, Brian1 aIliev, Peter1 aKalodimos, Jonathan u/biblio/analyst-information-acquisition-edgar00409nas a2200109 4500008004100000245006000041210005800101260000900159653001200168100001900180856010000199 2020 eng d00a"Passive Debt Ownership and Corporate Financial Policy"0 aPassive Debt Ownership and Corporate Financial Policy c202010aFinance1 aGibbons, Brian u/biblio/passive-debt-ownership-and-corporate-financial-policy-000407nas a2200109 4500008004100000245006000041210005800101260000900159653001200168100001900180856009800199 2020 eng d00a"Passive Debt Ownership and Corporate Financial Policy"0 aPassive Debt Ownership and Corporate Financial Policy c202010aFinance1 aGibbons, Brian u/biblio/passive-debt-ownership-and-corporate-financial-policy00593nas a2200145 4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260000900213653001200222100001600234700001900250700002100269700001900290856013800309 2018 eng d00a"Through Thick and Thin: Political Risk and the Interdependencies between MNCs and Host Countries"0 aThrough Thick and Thin Political Risk and the Interdependencies  c201810aFinance1 aWang, Clare1 aGibbons, Brian1 aBlouin, Jennifer1 aWellman, Laura u/biblio/through-thick-and-thin-political-risk-and-interdependencies-between-mncs-and-host-countries-100591nas a2200145 4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260000900213653001200222100002100234700001900255700001600274700001900290856013600309 2018 eng d00a"Through Thick and Thin: Political Risk and the Interdependencies between MNCs and Host Countries"0 aThrough Thick and Thin Political Risk and the Interdependencies  c201810aFinance1 aBlouin, Jennifer1 aGibbons, Brian1 aWang, Clare1 aWellman, Laura u/biblio/through-thick-and-thin-political-risk-and-interdependencies-between-mncs-and-host-countries00593nas a2200145 4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260000900213653001200222100002100234700001900255700001600274700001900290856013800309 2018 eng d00a"Through Thick and Thin: Political Risk and the Interdependencies between MNCs and Host Countries"0 aThrough Thick and Thin Political Risk and the Interdependencies  c201810aFinance1 aBlouin, Jennifer1 aGibbons, Brian1 aWang, Clare1 aWellman, Laura u/biblio/through-thick-and-thin-political-risk-and-interdependencies-between-mncs-and-host-countries-000593nas a2200145 4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260000900213653001200222100002100234700001900255700001600274700001900290856013800309 2017 eng d00a"Through Thick and Thin: Political Risk and the Interdependencies between MNCs and Host Countries"0 aThrough Thick and Thin Political Risk and the Interdependencies  c201710aFinance1 aBlouin, Jennifer1 aGibbons, Brian1 aWang, Clare1 aWellman, Laura u/biblio/through-thick-and-thin-political-risk-and-interdependencies-between-mncs-and-host-countries-2
