- All articles entering the average sentiment score are weighted by their relevance score (ranging from 0, ..., 100) so that articles with higher relevance receive a higher weight. We then compute the change in sentiment as the difference between the average, relevance-weighted sentiment scores in the post-FOMC window and then average, relevance-weighted sentiment scores in the pre-FOMC window. We do this for each of our 96 scheduled FOMC meetings to obtain a timeseries of sentiment changes. To avoid timing issues we do not include the day before the FOMC decision and the day after the FOMC meeting in the computation of sentiment scores. For example, if the FOMC meetings ends on July 27th, 2016, the x = 3 day pre-FOMC window runs from July 22nd to 25th whereas the 3-day post-FOMC window runs from July 29th to 31st. t-statistics in squared brackets are based on White standard errors. The sample period is from 2006 to 2017; 96 scheduled FOMC announcements.

- Figure IA.11 provides the long horizon response of equity prices and flows for the extended sample period from 1994-2019 as well as the sub sample 1994-2005. The downside of the longer sample is that we need to rely on less detailed and less reliable data for this exercise.41 Yet, the reaction of stock returns is overall very similar to the results documented above for the more recent sample period. Prices revert back to a large extent within four weeks. The point estimates of the response of fund flows is more muted in the early sample period (1994-2005).

- We use the Bloomberg data as reported. We notice that other data providers (e.g., Datastream) often report shares outstanding with a lag of one day compared to Bloomberg.35 Figure IA.1 provides an overview of total net assets of ETFs over time. The cut-off year 2006 for our baseline results (from 01/02/2006 to 12/13/2019, 3,512 daily observations; 114 FOMC announcements) ensures that we almost always observe non-zero flows for âBlendâ equity and âBroadâ bond funds, see Table IA.2. Before the year 2006, equity flows come with a large fraction of days with a zero fund flow, which would make our analysis of fund flows unreliable. In our empirical analysis, we mainly focus on ETF fund flows as these flows are more likely to represent âfast moneyâ. Transaction costs are low for ETFs (there are no front-end loads).

- where TNAi,t are total net assets of asset class i (equity or bond) at time t, and Ri,t is the fund return of asset class i. Because fund flows do not have an economically meaningful long-run mean or standard deviation, we follow the recent literature (e.g., Berk and van Binsbergen (2016), Menkhoff, Sarno, Schmeling, and Schrimpf (2016)) and use a normalization. In particular, we normalize flows by their moving average and standard deviation: FÌi,t = Fi,t â i,t (Fi,tâ250;tâ1) Ïi,t (Fi,tâ250;tâ1) , where i,t (Fi,tâ250;tâ1) and Ïi,t (Fi,tâ250;tâ1) are computed over lagged 250-day rolling days. If there is a zero flow, we ignore this observation when computing the rolling mean or standard deviation and we also do not adjust any zero flow observation in the sample. This means that we remove any local trends in the data, i.e. comparable to a year/fund category fixed effect.
