六、内容简介

We find empirical evidence supporting the expectation-based reference- dependent preference through the positive sentiment created by holidays using the unique features of Hong Kong stock market. First, we find that sentiment is experienced relative to a reference level: The stock market goes up on the days with likely day-off from looming typhoons and this typhoon effect is stronger than the holiday effect from weekends and public holidays. Second, the reference level for sentiment is based on expectation: The stock market goes up more on days with stronger typhoon signal and under strengthening typhoon signals but goes up less under weakening signals. Third, the informativeness of a signal is important such that barely informative good news can be undesirable: The stock market goes down under weak standby typhoon signals.
