    Legitimacy is a crucial factor determining the success of technologies in the early stages of development and for maintaining resource flows as well as public and political support across the technology life cycle. In sustainability transitions that unfold over long periods of time, the maintenance of legitimacy of technologies identified as vital for sustainability becomes a key challenge. In the energy sector, wind power contributes to the transition to an energy system with low greenhouse gas emissions. In Germany, wind power recently faced a series of lawsuits and decreasing investment activity. Therefore, we assess the legitimacy of wind power in Germany by analyzing newspaper articles from four national newspapers from 2009 to 2018. A large amount of articles motivates the use of topic models and statistical methods to shed light on the changing alignment of wind power with its context. The results show that various issues temporarily gain prominence on the agenda. Lately, the legitimacy of wind power in Germany is increasingly challenged by adverse effects on humans, animals, and landscapes. Policymakers and project developers may address aspects of pragmatic legitimacy, such as civic participation and the local distribution of profits.

    For more than forty years analysts have pointed out that society might be too slow in adopting energy efficiency technologies, a phenomenon known as the Energy Efficiency Gap. There are persistent market barriers that impede these efforts. Eliciting these barriers and their heterogeneity is key for policy design. In this paper, we use narratives, a novel approach based on unstructured text answers in surveys, to elicit the barriers and determinants of energy efficiency investments. Using recent advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), we turn narratives into quantifiable metrics to rank households' barriers and determinants. We find that financial motives are not the primary barriers or determinants of energy efficiency investments. Instead, we find that such investments are highly opportunistic and co-benefits, such as ecological concerns and comfort, also play an important role. Although there is substantial heterogeneity across the population in the type of barriers and determinants, demographics and building characteristics poorly predict heterogeneity patterns. This has important implications for the targeting of policies. Narratives could be a novel and effective way to implement policy targeting.

    We classify the sentiment of a large sample of StockTwits messages as bullish,bearish or neutral, and create a stock-aggregate daily sentiment polarity measure.Polarity is positively associated with contemporaneous stock returns. On average,polarity is not able to predict next-day stock returns. But when we focus on specificevents, defined as sudden peaks of message volume, polarity has predictive power onabnormal returns. Polarity-sorted portfolios illustrate the economic relevance of our sentiment measure

    This research highlights the role played by the media in the inflation expectations formation process of different types of respondents in Ukraine. Using a large news corpus and machine learning techniques I constructed news-based measures transforming text into quantitative indicators, which reflect news topics relevant to inflation expectations. As such, I found evidence that the different news topics have an impact on inflation expectations and can explain part of their variance. Thus, my results can help understand inflation expectations, especially as anchoring inflation expectations remains a key challenge for central banks.

    The proximity framework has attracted considerable attention in a scholarly discourse on the driving forces of knowledge exchange tie formation. It has been discussed that too much proximity is negatively associated with the effectiveness of a knowledge exchange relation. However, little is known about the key factors that trigger the formation of the boundaryspanning knowledge ties. Going beyond the "dyadic" perspective on proximity dimensions, this paper argues that the key factor in bridging distances may reside at the "triadic" level. We build on the notion of "the strength of weak ties" and its recent development by investigating the innovative performance and relations of more than 600,000 German firms. We explored and extracted information from the textual and relational content of firms' websites by using machine learning techniques and hyperlink analysis. We thereby proxied the innovative performance of firms using a deep learning text analysis approach and showed that the triadic property of bridging dyadic relations is a reliable predictor of firms' innovativeness. Relations embedded in cliques (i.e., strong ties) that connect cognitively distant firms are more strongly associated with firms' innovation, whereas inter-regional relations connecting different parts of a network (i.e., weak ties) are positively associated with firms' innovative performance. Also, the results suggest that a combination of strong inter-community and weak inter-regional relations are more positively related with firms' innovativeness compared to the combination of other relation types.

    How to quantify the informational content of analyst reports? In this short methodological paper, we propose a measure of information contribution (IC), defined in the spirit of Shapley values. We use natural language processing to identify topics for over 90,000 analyst reports for S&P 500 stocks between January 2018 to May 2020. Next, we build the IC measure as the average cosine distance between the topic distribution for a particular report and any subset of competitor reports. A first preliminary finding is that the informational content of reports in "crowded stocks" is 41% lower than for reports in low-coverage stocks. Second, team-authored reports are 36% more informative than individual reports and women-authored reports are 12% more informative than men-authored reports
