ABSTRACT
This chapter delves deeply into the state of research on financial communication effects. It draws on studies from finance, accounting, and media and communication studies to present empirical evidence for the effects of investor relations on corporate visibility, analyst coverage, trust, and valuation. It explores the effects of financial communication and investor relations within corporations, on capital markets, on media coverage, and on public perception more broadly. The chapter builds on interdisciplinary research to highlight and systematize the wide range of financial communication effects discussed in the literature.
