Abstract

We identify the effect of changes in the brand capital on stock market performance. Using hand-collected data on the red carpet outfits during the Academy Awards ceremonies, we find that companies providing outfits to nominees experience a positive stock market performance with respect to a control group of comparables. This outperformance is unlikely to be attributable to differential risk, while Google search trends suggest the Academy Awards ceremonies have a positive impact on investor attention.
