Cue Usage and Self-Insight of Financial Analysts

Ross Mear; Michael Firth

Abstract

[An experiment was conducted where practicing financial analysts provided risk and return judgments on 30 equity securities. The ability of financial analysts to subjectively express the relative emphasis they place on the available cues when generating their judgment evaluations was assessed by three alternative measurement methods. The results indicate the analysts exhibited a relatively high degree of self-insight since their subjective indications of cue importance were consistent with the models and outputs of their judgment policies.]
