Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we investigated the information acquisition and learning of companies and investors. (1) It was suggested that managers may be manipulating earnings forecasts, and there was a tendency to set forecasts above past sales even when they are expected to be lower. (2) It was found that companies that pay for information acquisition costs and make investment plans from productivity forecasts have incentives for acquiring high-quality information as their productivity is higher. However, as the learning cost increases, the net benefit decreases. (3) The proximity of inter-company networks increases the likelihood of partnerships between geographically and technically distant companies, and jointly filed patents have been found to be more valuable than individually filed patents.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
経済・社会において、情報は大きな役割を果たしている。企業や投資家は情報を基に意思決定を行うため、それらの情報取得や学習過程がどのように行われるか、そして、どのような行動が選択されるのかを分析することは重要である。本研究では、戦略的な情報開示の可能性、企業の設備投資に関する情報取得のインセンティブとコスト、そして共同研究開発のパートナーシップの形成と特許価値に関する新たな知見を提供する。これらの結果は、不確実性が存在する経済における企業の意思決定プロセスの理解を深め、政策立案や経営戦略に有益な示唆を与える。また、投資家やステークホルダーが企業の行動を理解し、より適切な投資判断を行う助けとなる。
