Abstract

We tried to determine whether the analyst's physical attractiveness correlated with job performance. We found that analysts with superior appearances tended to produce more accurate analyses than less attractive analysts. Moreover, they could more easily enter a job and get more resources in the short run. The case analysis shows that analysts with excellent appearances usually have a closer relationship with investors and media; their performance level and income also significantly differ from others. However， beauty premium still exists as a problem that should be solved.
