摘要：

This paper examines analysts' catering behavior to current investor demand, proxied by the unbalanced stock market reaction toward optimistic forecasts and non-optimistic forecasts (i.e., optimism premium). Using data on earnings forecasts issued by sell-side analysts in China from 2014 to 2018, we show that the optimism premium significantly increases analysts' tendency to issue optimistic forecasts-in short, that analysts do cater to investor demand. The implications of our findings for theory and practices are discussed.
