Abstract
From the paperThe authors' own words.
When firms respond to new market opportunities, their capacity choices alter the future discounted free cash flows available to both competitors and investors. In competitive markets, these investment decisions publicized in news articles and analyst reports, measuring the changes in capital structure, product mix, firm leadership, risk exposure and operating procedure made by the firm. Modern search engines rely on Large Language Models to measure the relevancy of source documents to given search query. These measurements let researchers represent these news articles as clouds of dense vectors whose information geometry reflects the dissimilarity of firms over time. Building on Xu et al. (2022), we develop a model of costly competitive adjustment in which firms allocate capacity in which firms make firm capacity adjustment towards free cash flow shocks. Using a novel sandwich estimator, we analyse the sign and magnitude of this predicted adjustment using multi-agent simulation, and validate our findings on a sample of news and analyst reports from Nasdaq-listed companies between 2018-2022.
