초록

This study investigates the impact of Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) on retail stock trading and the stock market using Robinhood data. We find that during the EIP period, there was a surge in retail investors who adopted a contrarian strategy by purchasing stocks that experienced significant declines due to COVID-19. However, these stocks relatively underperformed over the following six months, suggesting potential biases in retail investment decisions. Furthermore, a decrease in market quality was observed in these stocks. © 2023
