本研究探討台灣初次上市櫃 (IPO) 市場中,投資人關注度對散戶申購行為之影響,並檢驗傳統財務基本面的解釋力。以2006至2025年間814筆案件為樣本,本研究引入Google Trends搜尋熱度衡量上市前的散戶情緒,實證結果指出,在控制預期資本利得等變數後,網路搜尋量顯著提升了散戶的超額認購倍數,相對地傳統財務指標的影響力甚微甚至呈現負相關,顯示散戶決策時較看重網路搜尋關注度而相對忽略基本面。
次樣本分析進一步揭示,此關注度效應受資訊不對稱程度調節,在技術門檻較高的高科技產業中,散戶更傾向依賴網路搜尋量輔助決策,然而在生技醫療產業,因上市初期伴隨較高不確定性,投資人往往捨棄基本面與搜尋量訊號,將申購決策轉向單純的定價溢價。最後,跨期互動模型證實,這種依賴網路關注度的現象並非疫情後的短期波動,而是跨越過去二十年總體經濟循環的穩定行為模式。
This study investigates how investor attention affects retail subscription behavior in Taiwan’s initial public offering (IPO) market, while examining the explanatory power of traditional financial fundamentals. Using a sample of 814 IPOs from 2006 to 2025, we introduce Google Trends search volume as a proxy for pre-IPO retail sentiment. Empirical results show that, after controlling for expected capital gains and offering characteristics, pre-IPO internet search volume significantly increases the retail over-subscription ratio. Conversely, traditional financial metrics show weak or even negative impacts, indicating that retail investors weigh online attention more heavily than fundamental data during the subscription process.
Sub-sample analysis reveals that this attention effect is moderated by information asymmetry. Retail investors rely more heavily on search volume (SVI) in high-tech industries with high technical barriers. However, due to the high uncertainty accompanying the biotechnology sector's initial listing phase, investors tend to disregard both fundamentals and search-driven signals, shifting their decisions entirely toward the pure pricing premium. Finally, intertemporal models confirm that this attention-reliant behavior is not merely a post-pandemic fluctuation, but a stable pattern that transcends two decades of macroeconomic cycles.
