摘要：
This paper explores whether conflicts of interest between investors and investment banks are associated with investor attention. We find that analysts tend to issue positive recommendations about firms. However, analysts' recommendations do not align with their subsequent trades. Although conflicts of interest exist, they mainly occur on strong buy recommendations and firms that attract investor attention. Investment banks profit from strategically trading on their own recommended stocks that have high abnormal volume. (c) 2016 Published by Elsevier Inc.
