摘要：I study the impact of information technology (IT) in a model where stock prices aggregate speculators' information and guide firms' investments. A firm with higher exposure to its risky production project attracts more information from speculators. IT progress (i.e., lowering information costs) improves stock price informativeness and corporate efficiency when information is costly. Yet, when information is inexpensive, speculators use up their limited attention. Then IT improvements can backfire: Firms excessively increase risky project exposure to engage in zero-sum competition for attention, reducing corporate efficiency and social welfare. Raising firms' growth opportunities can reinforce the adverse effects of IT progress.
