Summary

Interaction among sell-side securities analysts under-researched. Multipoint contact among sell-side securities analysts has not been studied.

Forecast accuracy is a direct point of competition, and information leadership is an indirect point. (Might information leadership be more highly related to star recognition?)

TO DO

• Retrieve key readings on mutual forbearance theory (???,(???),(???))
• Learn more on information leadership (refs on p. 2)

Questions

• Why would more information leadership in own sphere of influence be evidence of mutual forbearance? Is it necessarily others deferring? Why not the focal analyst becoming more aggressive?
• Is information leadership more important for II recognition than forecast accuracy?
• How is sphere of influence determined?
