报告简介：
We develop a theoretical model to analyze how investors' information acquisition and processing costs and mandatory disclosure affect the incidence and effectiveness of firms' communication efforts whose main objective is to help investors better understand mandatory reports. We find that the quality of mandatory disclosure can either substitute or complement firms' incentives to engage in communication efforts. For activities where firm-specific factors matter more, more accurate mandatory disclosure can discourage useful communication efforts, resulting in lower equilibrium use of information by investors and lower investment efficiency. For activities where firm-specific factors matter less, more accurate mandatory disclosure can encourage more communication efforts, leading to more efficient use of such information. We discuss the empirical and policy implications of our analyses.
