“…In this section, we provide summary statistics on managerial incentives to internalize externalities, as measured using the different versions of GGL, and the extent to which managers' motives have shifted over the last 30+ years. These summary statistics highlight the importance of accounting for investor attention 9 Blackrock reports its holdings under seven different entities, and the Thomson data aggregates these to six different manager numbers.
