OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Firm-level shock exposures, stock returns, and real outcomes: a text-analytic approach
We introduce a firm-level exposure to macroeconomic shocks derived from 10K Risk Factors’ ability to predict shock-related market surprises and illustrate its application to COVID-19. It has significant explanatory power for returns in- and out-of-sample; contains all relevant information for future real outcomes present in surprises; and can be decomposed into interpretable word groupings that collectively account for real outcomes. These highlight numerous specific channels through which COVID-19 generated negative and positive real effects, and how these are distributed across firms. By reflecting information on trading partners, technology adoption, and business models, text explains how COVID-19 created long-lasting firm heterogeneity.
