内容摘要

While private investor communication channels have brought substantial informational benefits, an important question emerges: do these benefits extend equally across genders? Our study addresses this issue by examining mandatory site visit disclosures in China, which involve face-to-face interactions between financial analysts and corporate managers. In a Difference-in-Differences framework, we document a striking gender information gap: female analysts experience a significantly lower improvement in earnings forecast accuracy following site visits, compared to their male counterparts. The effect is concentrated among non-star analysts and becomes less evident when the visit environment includes female managers or other female analysts. It is also more pronounced among analysts with weaker network positions, less prior familiarity with the visited firm, and lower geographic proximity to it, consistent with the role of workplace status and informal professional networks in shaping analysts’ informational benefits from site visits. By contrast, we do not find support for the view that the main result is driven primarily by analyst-side caution or self-restraint during site visits. Overall, our findings suggest that the informational benefits of corporate site visits do not extend equally across genders and that the professional and social environment surrounding private investor communications shapes how effectively analysts benefit from these interactions.
