Note: The Aggregate Negative Sentiment Index is constructed by counting the total number of negative sentiment words found within 10 words of the main search term from quarterly firm earnings call transcripts. This sum is then divided by the total number of words within the transcript and then the 90-day moving average of this ratio is calculated. Data are then aggregated to the weekly level by taking the last moving average value for each week and finally the z-value (z-score) is computed. The z-value is a measurement of the number of standard deviations that sentiment series are away from their mean value. Since the sentiment series have different means, the z-values better reflect relative changes in negative sentiment. The gray shading begins in January 2021. The series end on September 21, 2021.

Note: The Industry Negative Sentiment Index is constructed by first filtering firms by S&P Industrial Classifications. The “Automobiles” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as automobiles or automobiles components firms. The “Electronics” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as electronic equipment, instruments and components firms, technology hardware, storage and peripherals firms, or communications equipment firms. The “Semiconductors” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as semiconductors and semiconductor equipment firms. The “Other Industries” aggregate consists of all other S&P Industrial Classifications. The industry series are then constructed by counting the total number of negative sentiment words found within 10 words of the main search term from quarterly firm earnings call transcripts. This sum is then divided by the total number of words within the transcript and then the 90-day moving average of this ratio is calculated. Data are then aggregated to the weekly level by taking the last moving average value for each week and finally the z-value is computed. The z-value is a measurement of the number of standard deviations that sentiment series are away from their mean value. Since the sentiment series have different means, the z-values better reflect relative changes in negative sentiment. The gray shading begins in January 2021. The series end on September 21, 2021.

Note: The Industry Negative Sentiment Index is constructed by first filtering firms by S&P Industrial Classifications. The “Automobiles” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as automobiles or automobiles components firms. The “Electronics” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as electronic equipment, instruments and components firms, technology hardware, storage and peripherals firms, or communications equipment firms. The “Semiconductors” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as semiconductors and semiconductor equipment firms. The “Other Industries” aggregate consists of all other S&P Industrial Classifications. The industry series are then constructed by counting the total number of negative sentiment words found within 10 words of the main search term from quarterly firm earnings call transcripts. This sum is then divided by the total number of words within the transcript and then the 90-day moving average of this ratio is calculated. Data are then aggregated to the weekly level by taking the last moving average value for each week and finally the z-value is computed. The z-value is a measurement of the number of standard deviations that sentiment series are away from their mean value. Since the sentiment series have different means, the z-values better reflect relative changes in negative sentiment. The gray shading begins in January 2021. The series end on September 21, 2021.

Note: The Industry Negative Sentiment Index is constructed by first filtering firms by S&P Industrial Classifications. The “Automobiles” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as automobiles or automobiles components firms. The “Electronics” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as electronic equipment, instruments and components firms, technology hardware, storage and peripherals firms, or communications equipment firms. The “Semiconductors” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as semiconductors and semiconductor equipment firms. The “Other Industries” aggregate consists of all other S&P Industrial Classifications. The industry series are then constructed by counting the total number of negative sentiment words found within 10 words of the main search term from quarterly firm earnings call transcripts. This sum is then divided by the total number of words within the transcript and then the 90-day moving average of this ratio is calculated. Data are then aggregated to the weekly level by taking the last moving average value for each week and finally the z-value is computed. The z-value is a measurement of the number of standard deviations that sentiment series are away from their mean value. Since the sentiment series have different means, the z-values better reflect relative changes in negative sentiment. The gray shading begins in January 2021. The series end on September 21, 2021.

Note: The Industry Negative Sentiment Index is constructed by first filtering firms by S&P Industrial Classifications. The “Automobiles” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as automobiles or automobiles components firms. The “Electronics” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as electronic equipment, instruments and components firms, technology hardware, storage and peripherals firms, or communications equipment firms. The “Semiconductors” aggregate consists of firms that are classified as semiconductors and semiconductor equipment firms. The “Other Industries” aggregate consists of all other S&P Industrial Classifications. The industry series are then constructed by counting the total number of negative sentiment words found within 10 words of the main search term from quarterly firm earnings call transcripts. This sum is then divided by the total number of words within the transcript and then the 90-day moving average of this ratio is calculated. Data are then aggregated to the weekly level by taking the last moving average value for each week and finally the z-value is computed. The z-value is a measurement of the number of standard deviations that sentiment series are away from their mean value. Since the sentiment series have different means, the z-values better reflect relative changes in negative sentiment. The gray shading begins in January 2021. The series end on September 21, 2021.

Note: The Aggregate Positive Sentiment Index is constructed by counting the total number of positive sentiment words found within 10 words of the main search term from quarterly firm earnings call transcripts. This sum is then divided by the total number of words within the transcript and then the 90-day moving average of this ratio is calculated. Data are then aggregated to the weekly level by taking the last moving average value for each week and finally the z-value is computed. The z-value is a measurement of the number of standard deviations that sentiment series are away from their mean value. Since the sentiment series have different means, the z-values better reflect relative changes in negative sentiment. The gray shading begins in January 2021. The series end on September 22, 2021.

Left Panel:

Note: For each main search term, the average number of sentiment terms mentioned is calculated by summing the total number of positive or negative sentiment terms that are located within 10 words of the main search term for earnings calls that occurred in 2020 Q1, 2020 Q4, and 2021 Q3, respectively. The final values for each main search term for 2020 are constructed by subtracting the 2020 Q4 value by the 2020 Q1 value and then dividing by the total number of firms within the panel. The final values for 2021 are constructed similarly, but instead use data from 2021 Q3 and 2020 Q4. “Price” and “Demand” use positive sentiment terms while the other main search terms use negative sentiment terms.

Percent %

Variable Value
Capacity 2.909224862
Chip 21.2379831
Demand 40.7441829
Ship+Container 2.800310082
Supply-Chain 32.30829905

Note: For each main search term, the 2021:Q3-2020:Q1 estimated treatment contribution is calculated by first using the values calculated in the left-hand panel of Figure 5 and multiplying the 2020 value by the respective main search term’s standalone coefficient found in Table 2. The 2021 value found within the left-hand panel of Figure 5 is multiplied by the respective main search term’s 2021 interaction coefficient found in Table 2. The estimated treatment effect for each main search term is found by summing the respective products together. The estimated treatment effect values for Demand, Supply-Chain, Chip, Capacity, and Ship+Container are 0.32, 0.25, 0.16, 0.02, and 0.02. Finally, the contribution is found by dividing each main search term’s treatment effect value by the sum of all treatment effects and then multiplying by 100. “Demand” uses positive sentiment terms while the other main search terms use negative sentiment terms.
