To depict the dynamic patterns of managerial attention among Chinese firms and quantify the subjective awareness of corporate managers in China, we explore textual information extracted from semi-annual and annual reports for all of the Chinese A share-listed firms during the period between 2001 and 2023. In particular, we construct a firm-level managerial climate attention measure based on the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) section. This data contains the measure for 4,624 publicly listed firms in Chinese A-share markets during the period 2001-2023. Firm-level, industrial-level and province-level yearly data are provided.
