요약Information has always been central to economic decision-making, yet measuring it empirically remains a significant challenge. This dissertation explores innovative ways to capture and quantify the impact of information on decision-making for firms and investors. This thesis is composed of three essays.The first chapter, "Information Waves and Firm Investment," examines how information quality affects firm investment. This research utilizes the predetermined decennial schedule of the U.S. Census as an exogenous source of variation in information quality available to firms when making entry decisions. As the decade progresses, census data becomes gradually outdated and fails to capture ongoing demographic changes in local markets. Using establishment-level data from the retail and restaurant industries, the analysis shows that deteriorating information quality leads to worse investment decisions, significantly increasing establishment failure rates. This effect is more pronounced in areas with large demographic changes, in industries reliant on precise local data, and for smaller firms, underscoring the role of information in shaping firm outcomes.The second chapter, "The Use and Usefulness of Big Data in Finance: Evidence from Financial Analysts," co-authored with Byoung-Hyoun Hwang and Yaping Zheng, investigates the influence of non-traditional data such as web traffic, credit card transactions, and satellite imagery on financial markets. This study focuses on sell-side analysts as key information intermediaries. Analysis of analyst reports reveals an increasing incorporation of alternative data, which is linked to more accurate earnings forecasts and higher trading commissions for brokerages. Furthermore, the use of alternative data is found to help narrow the performance gap between hedge funds and traditional institutional investors.The third chapter, "A Tax-Shaped Retail Landscape," co-authored with Limin Fang, Mengwei Lin, and Nathan Yang, examines how state business tax policies affect market structure. Using data on retail establishments, the analysis shows that large retail chains are disproportionately more responsive to tax changes. A model of strategic entry demonstrates how uniform tax policies can unintentionally amplify market dominance, leading to asymmetric competitive effects.
