| Tiivistelmä: | The paper examines the effect of disclosure on uncertainty by investigating how management earnings forecasts affect stock market volatility. Implied volatilities from exchange-traded options prices are used, and the results reveal that management earnings forecasts increase short-term volatility. The effect is attributable to forecasts that convey bad news, particularly when firms release forecasts occasionally rather than on a routine basis. In the longer run, when earnings are announced, market uncertainty declines regardless of whether there is a preceding earnings forecast. The decline is reduced when the firm issues a forecast that conveys negative news, implying that these forecasts are associated with increased uncertainty. |
