Abstract/摘要：We examine how the effects of natural disaster spillover through shared analyst coverage. Using a large US sell-side analysts’ earnings forecast data spanning from 1993 to 2016, we find that analysts who follow disaster-stricken firms issue more inaccurate forecasts towards unaffected peer firms. We also show that the positive association is attenuated when an analyst gains more experience, but strengthens when the peer firm is riskier. Overall, our findings provide evidence on both the limited attention hypothesis and the perceived risk hypothesis.
