The A-Share Listed Companies' Earnings Briefing Data System comprehensively records the full-process data of earnings briefings historically convened by China's A-share listed companies. It encompasses three core modules: basic meeting information, participant details, and interactive exchange records. An earnings briefing is a public disclosure event held by listed companies for all investors following the release of periodic reports. During these sessions, company management elaborates on industry conditions, development strategies, production operations, financial status, dividend distributions, risks, and challenges—matters of significant investor concern—and addresses investor inquiries in real time.

  This database structurally documents the entire workflow of each earnings briefing, from its organization to interactive Q&A sessions: The Basic Information Table for Earnings Briefings records details such as meeting time, duration, and format; the Participant Basic Information Table captures detailed characteristics of attending executives, including positions, educational backgrounds, and professional experience; while the Interactive Exchange Information Table archives the complete Q&A transcripts between investors and company responses. Through logical linkages across these three tables, users can holistically reconstruct the complete scenario and interactive nuances of each earnings briefing, providing a systematic data foundation for assessing corporate information disclosure quality, analyzing investor relations management, and advancing corporate governance research.

Data Features:

• High-coverage meeting records, panoramically presenting the briefing ecosystem: Covers A-share listed companies on the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing Stock Exchanges. Briefing types include annual report briefings, semi-annual briefings, and quarterly briefings.
• Rich participant information and career history data: Each participant record links to detailed attributes such as position category, educational background, and employment history—including board membership status, independent director status, CEO-Chair duality, number of concurrent positions held, and associated company codes.
• Complete question-response interaction texts, capturing micro-level communication dynamics: Records the content and timing of investor questions alongside management responses for each briefing, annotated with key metadata such as question targets, question types, and respondent identities. Each Q&A pair is linked to specific meetings and participants, enabling users to directly extract Q&A records from any company's briefing sessions to construct quantitative variables like investor attention metrics, information asymmetry levels, and management tone characteristics.

Data Application Value:

• Empowering research on corporate information disclosure quality: Earnings briefings serve as critical channels for direct communication between listed companies and investors. Metrics such as briefing frequency, seniority of attending executives, and Q&A interaction quality can serve as proxies for evaluating information disclosure quality and investor relations management efficacy. Scholars may leverage indicators like "number of meetings," "participant count," "response rate," and "interaction density" to empirically examine how corporate governance characteristics influence disclosure performance or assess the impact of regulatory policies on corporate communication behaviors.
• Measuring investor attention and market information transmission efficiency: Investor questions in the Interactive Exchange Information Table directly reflect market focus areas, while management responses reveal corporate responsiveness strategies and information disclosure willingness. By analyzing question type distributions, content word frequencies, response timeliness, and information richness, users can construct investor attention indices and management disclosure transparency indices to explore micro-mechanisms of firm-to-market information transmission and their effects on stock price reactions.
• Supporting corporate governance and executive behavior analysis: Variables in the Participant Basic Information Table—including position details, educational backgrounds, and concurrent appointments—provide a robust data foundation for examining correlations between executive characteristics and communication quality. Researchers may investigate whether executives with financial backgrounds or independent director experience exhibit significantly different participation levels or response quality in briefings, or explore whether firms with CEO-Chair duality demonstrate distinct information disclosure styles during investor communications.

  The CnOpenData A-Share Listed Companies' Earnings Briefing Database establishes an integrated three-tier dataset covering the A-share market: basic meeting characteristics—participant career attributes—Q&A interaction texts. Its comprehensive meeting coverage, rich participant profiles, complete Q&A corpora, and fusion of structured and unstructured data provide a reliable data cornerstone for quantitative research in information disclosure quality, investor relations management, corporate governance, and financial text analysis.
