Plenary presentation: "Prompting Participation: Digital Nudging to Reduce Investment Inertia"
We explore how stock price reactions to Twitter (now known as X) posts are associated with the perceived credibility of social media users making the posts. We introduce new credibility metrics based on the sender and the content of Twitter posts. Less credible tweets influence prices through a transient liquidity effect, while more credible tweets lead to a persistent information effect. Our results support the Elaboration Likelihood Model by demonstrating that the direct route of persuasion (represented by post credibility) is larger in magnitude and more persistent over time than the peripheral route of persuasion (represented by sender credibility).
