摘要：
This study investigates the impact of changing gender bias on the forecasting performance of female analysts. By leveraging the #MeToo movement as a shock to the prevailing gender-based discrimination, we find that female analysts’ forecast performance improves significantly after #MeToo, in terms of forecast accuracy, frequency, timeliness, depth, and breadth. Such improvement is more pronounced when the movement has triggered heightened awareness of gender bias. Further analyses reveal that the #MeToo movement affects female analyst performance by fostering a more gender-inclusive environment within the firms that analysts cover and the brokerage houses where they work, as evidenced by improved access to management and enhanced career assessment for women. Collectively, our results demonstrate that female analysts experience an improvement in their job performance as the gender bias against women is alleviated by the #MeToo movement.
