内容简介：

We study the role of disclosure acquisition costs in volume reactions and pricing efficiency around periodic earnings announcements. Our identification strategy exploits the SEC’s staggered implementation of the EDGAR system as an exogenous, randomly-assigned reduction of investors’ acquisition costs of mandatory disclosure filings. We find that firms included in EDGAR have lower trading volume around earnings announcements. Our evidence suggests that investors have reduced differential interpretations of earnings announcements with lower disclosure acquisition costs, with more pronounced effects for firms with poorer information environments. In addition, we show that lower disclosure acquisition costs lead to improved disclosure pricing efficiency with respect to earnings announcements. Finally, we show that reduced disclosure acquisition costs are most beneficial for retail investors, as volume changes are primarily driven by small investors’ trades. Our paper highlights the importance of disclosure access cost—a type of disclosure processing cost in capital market consequences of mandatory disclosures.

我们研究了在定期盈利公告前后，信息披露获取成本对交易量反应和定价效率的作用。我们利用美国证券交易委员会（SEC）交错实施EDGAR系统作为外生冲击，识别投资者获取强制性信息披露文件的成本的随机降低。我们发现，被纳入EDGAR系统的公司在盈利公布前后的交易量较低。我们的证据表明，随着信息披露获取成本的降低，投资者对盈利公告的异质性解释也会减少，并且这对信息环境较差的公司的影响更为显著。此外，我们还发现，较低的信息披露获取成本提高了盈利公告的信息披露定价效率。最后，我们表明，信息披露获取成本的降低对散户投资者最为有利，因为交易量的变化主要是由小投资者的交易驱动的。 我们的论文强调了信息披露获取成本（一种披露处理成本）在资本市场强制性信息披露后果中的重要性。
