Prior research demonstrates that a strong institutional infrastructure in a country moderates self鈥恠erving behavior of market participants. Cross鈥恈ountry economic activities have increased significantly, presenting a research opportunity to examine the relative influence of local versus foreign institutional infrastructure on individual market participants. We utilize variation in analyst鈥恈ountry location relative to covered firm location to examine institutional determinants of optimism in analyst research. Focusing on target prices, where persistent optimism is well documented, we find that analysts domiciled in countries with stronger institutional infrastructures exhibit significantly attenuated target price optimism and more value鈥恟elevant target prices. Our results demonstrate the importance of domestic country鈥恖evel institutional factors in moderating self鈥恠erving behavior of market participants engaged in cross鈥恈ountry activities.
