These incentives may come from compensation structures, business relationships, or performance expectations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"820\">When incentive bias is removed, the focus shifts entirely to data and accuracy. This change can significantly improve the quality of <strong data-start=\"705\" data-end=\"732\">equity research reports<\/strong> and the reliability of <strong data-start=\"756\"

data-end=\"1005\">What Is Incentive Bias in Equity Research<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1109\">Incentive bias occurs when analysis is influenced by external motivations instead of
