We develop an empirical model of exchange rate returns, applied separately to samples of developed (DM) and developing (EM) economies' currencies against the dollar. Monetary policy stance of the global central banks, measured via a natural-language-based approach, has a large effect on exchange...

We develop a classification methodology for the context and content of news articles to predict risk and return in stock markets in 51 developed and emerging economies. A parsimonious summary of news, including topic-specific sentiment, frequency, and unusualness (entropy) of word flow, predicts...

We derive a measure of firm-level regulatory costs from the text of corporate earnings calls. We use this measure to study the effect of regulation on companies' operating fundamentals, growth, leverage, and equity returns. We find that higher regulatory cost results in slower sales growth and...
