講座內(nèi)容簡介:Using one of the latest machine learning techniques—the word embedding model (Mikolov et al. 2013)—and 217,387 earnings call transcripts, we obtain five corporate cultural values: innovation, integrity, quality,respect, and teamwork (Guiso, Sapienza, and Zingales 2015) for 77,541 firm-year observations over theperiod 2001–2018. We conduct a large number of tests to validate our measures and demonstrate theadvantages of our approach over alternative methods. We show that corporate culture plays an importantrole in deal incidence and merger pairing, and that post-merger, acquirers’ cultural values are positivelyassociated with their target firms’ cultural values pre-merger.
