MANAGEMENT OWNERSHIP AND STOCK PRICE INFORMATIVENESS IN INDONESIA STOCK MARKET

2017-06-05T05:52:55+07:00

This paper investigates the impact of management ownership i.e. director’s and commissioner’s shares, on the amount of firm-specific information incorporated into stock prices, as measured by stock price synchronicity of Indonesian-listed firms over the 2013-2015 period. Studies have shown that at least there are two effects of management ownership in prices i.e. convergence-of-interests effect and entrenchment effect. Also, previous research shows that stock price efficiency depends on the cost of acquiring private information. We hypothesize that these characteristics will manifest itself primarily in the firm-specific component of returns. Our empirical test finds that director’s and commissioner’s ownership in a company nonlinearly increase the probability of capitalization of firm’s specific information to stock prices. Thereby, making firm’s stock prices less synchronous to the market and the industry movements. Overall, our findings support the contention that ownership structure plays a significant role in shaping the firm’s information environment.

MEANING OF SENTIMENT ANALYSIS FOR COMPANIES

2017-06-05T05:52:57+07:00

People often ask others for product advice. Once, word-of-mouth (WOM) was, due to practical limitations, shared locally. Nowadays, WOM is shared online (eWOM), which has a much larger reach. As eWOM is publicly accessible (unlike WOM), it can be used as information on brand attitude. eWOM can be aggregated and assessed using sentiment analysis (identifying positive/negative messages). The assumption is that sentiment analysis illustrates people's brand perception. We investigate the relationship between sentiment analysis and brand perception. We collected tweets with sentiment information of eight brands in Indonesia using Twitter's built-in sentiment analysis over a week. Using these tweets, aggregated sentiment scores were computed. The scores were correlated with brand perception collected using questionnaires. 206 participants attributed scores to seven properties: Complaint handling, Design, Friendliness, Information, Marketing, Service, and Overall score. Either insignificant or correlations close to zero were found, so online sentiment does not correspond to offline brand perception.
