This paper aims to research the context within which sell-side financial analysts make decisions to use corporate non-financial information. Prior research has demonstrated that financial analysts take into account non-financial information in their analyses of firms, but knowledge is scarce about what determines their use of this information. Based on a survey conducted among Belgian financial analysts, we observe a significant negative association between the financial analysts' use of non-financial information and the earnings informativeness of a firm's financial statement information proxied by leverage and stock return volatility. We also find that a higher amount of non-financial information is used by less experienced financial analysts and by financial analysts covering a highe...

Abroad courses are becoming apart of many higher education programs. Such courses can introduce students to the global perspective of business discipline and provide them with valuable international experience. Student's personality traits, however, may have an influence on how they perceive the effectiveness of the abroad courses. Accordingly, this study investigated the relationships between students' personality traits (risk-taking propensity, goal orientation, and openness to experience) and their perception of the effectiveness of summer abroad courses. A total of 121 students (twenty graduate students and 101 undergraduate students) who participated in a summer abroad program constituted the survey group. The findings of this study suggest that students are fairly satisfied with v...
