Hi Everyone, I have a super smart student here who is looking for a bit of help from our China specialists. Here is his query: As someone studying global economics, I’ve become increasingly interested in learning how individual Chinese investors manage to stay abreast of financial news given how cut off the average Chinese citizen appears to be from social media flows on sites like Twitter. In the U.S., American investors are increasingly making financial decisions based on activities on social media sites (known colloquially as “investing through big data research.”) How do Chinese investors use big data? Do Chinese investors use big data? _________ Any thoughts? I think this is worth discussing on-list, but you can also email him privately if you wish at jfr308@nyu.edu Huge thanks in advance!
