Abstract
This paper investigates whether managers learn from communication with professional market participants using a unique dataset of analyst visits to listed firms in China. We find that managerial ability is significantly enhanced by communicating with outsiders. To identify causality, instrument variable and matching method are introduced. Our findings provide significant implications on the role of the information learning from outsiders to firm managers.
