Abstract

Using the BERT large language model and extensive textual data, this paper measures the alignment between firm achievements and government development goals. We prove that firms aligning closely with national goals are more favorably valued in the capital market. Our results offer valuable insights for policymakers and corporate leaders in strategy optimization within complex macroeconomic environments.
