Abstract

This paper studies investor's attention to gold price movements by analyzing the relationship between gold price changes and internet search queries for gold. We find a positive relationship of gold price volatility and search queries and a strong asymmetric effect of negative gold price changes on search queries indicating a preference to mine (google) bad news rather than good news. The analysis of silver, palladium and platinum demonstrates that the findings for gold are unique.
