Chelen will summarize a study that examined electric industry management statements over a 20-year period with natural language processing to assess how disclosure statements relate to company behaviors and evaluate how corporate characteristics may moderate company responses to federal actions, specifically the publication of regulatory guidance.

The presentation will cover how Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance did not increase climate-related disclosures, but instead, how responses by firms in the electric industry reflect a so-called “chilling effect,” where corporations avoid language that could be tied to regulatory enforcement.
