Textual Analysis in Accounting and Finance: A Survey

Tim Loughran, Bill McDonald · April 26, 2016 · Social Sciences

Abstract

Relative to quantitative methods traditionally used in accounting and finance, textual analysis is substantially less precise. Thus, understanding the art is of equal importance to understanding the science. In this survey, we describe the nuances of the method and, as users of textual analysis, some of the tripwires in implementation. We also review the contemporary textual analysis literature and highlight areas of future research.
