Abstract
This article investigates the stock market reaction to appointments of newly created chief digital or data officer (CDO) positions. The analysis is based on a sample of 112 CDO appointment announcements by publicly traded companies listed in the US stock market from 2004 to 2017. We ground our arguments in signaling theory along with the institutional entrepreneurship and synergy and redundancy perspective to understand the factors that could influence the market reaction to CDO appointments. Although the results show that the stock market reacts neutrally to announcements of newly created CDO positions, the market does react positively under certain conditions. The market reacts positively when appointing firms exhibit high growth prospects. The article supports the redundancy perspective, and the results show that the market reacts positively when a potentially conflicting and overlapping role such as chief information officer (CIO) is absent in appointing firms. Our analysis also shows that when CIO is absent, the market reacts more positively to outsider CDO relative to insider CDO, thereby indicating the interaction between redundancy and institutional entrepreneurship perspectives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
