The Australian accounting environment provides an ideal setting for examining the impact of different accounting treatments
of firms’ R&D activities on their subsequent returns. Unlike US firms, which can only expense R&D, Australian GAAP permits
firms to either expense or capitalize their R&D expenditure. We examine separately the market impact of the R&D intensity
of all R&D active firms, ‘capitalizers’ and ‘expensers’. Our results suggest that firms with higher R&D intensity perform
better, regardless of the accounting method used, consistent with the resource-based view of the firm. We also find some evidence
that firms which expense R&D outperform those which capitalize R&D after controlling for R&D intensity.

This study examines the relation between controlling shareholders’ excess board seats control and financial restatements.
An analysis of a sample comprising 106 Taiwanese listed firms (53 restating firms vs. 53 non-restating control firms) shows
that financial restatements are more likely to occur when there is a greater divergence between controlling shareholders’
board seats control rights and ownership rights. We also find that the excess board seats control of controlling shareholders
is positively associated with the materiality and pervasiveness of financial restatements. Overall, these results suggest
that the entrenchment incentive from controlling shareholders’ excess control motivates firms to adopt aggressive accounting
policies.

An empirical assessment of the premium associated with meeting or beating both time-series earnings expectations and analysts’ forecasts 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Nicholas Dopuch Chandra Seethamraju Weihong Xu 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2008,31(2):147-166
Recent research provides evidence of a market premium accruing to firms that meet or beat analysts’ forecasts. We find similar
results for our sample of firms. However, we also find a market premium for firms that meet or beat time-series forecasts,
and that the highest market premium accrued to firms that meet or beat both analysts’ and time-series forecasts. These findings
are supported by assessments of future financial performance over the next two subsequent years. Our findings are consistent
with the notion that when time-series benchmark is used in conjunction with analysts’ forecasts, investors obtain a more reliable
(i.e., less noisy) signal regarding whether firms have actually met or beaten market expectations.

Valuation of global IPOs: a stochastic frontier approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Yue-Cheong Chan Congsheng Wu Chuck C. Y. Kwok 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2007,29(3):267-284
This paper studies the impact of global offerings on US IPO firms’ offer price using the stochastic frontier approach. We
find that the offer price valuation efficiency for global IPOs exceeds that of IPOs with purely domestic offers by 3.1%. In
particular, the global offering approach is most appropriate to those IPO firms, which offer larger proportion of new shares
to international investors, underwritten by less prestigious investment banks and with larger firm-specific return variance.
Our findings are consistent with the demand inelasticity, certification effect and investor recognition arguments that account
for the benefits of global offering.

Valuation of loss firms in a knowledge-based economy 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Recent research in accounting has documented a substantial increase in the number of loss firms. Existing theories on the
valuation of loss firms are based on adaptation/abandonment options or limited liability, assuming that these firms are operationally
distressed. In this paper, we show that many loss firms do not fit this stereotype and identify the primary value drivers
of this new type of loss firms. Our analysis helps resolve the puzzling negative relation between earnings and market value
documented in prior research. Overall, our findings underscore the importance of “hidden assets” or intangibles in the study
of loss firms.

Firm diversification and earnings management: evidence from seasoned equity offerings 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
Chee Yeow Lim Tiong Yang Thong David K. Ding 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2008,30(1):69-92
Popular press suggests that diversified firms are more aggressive in managing earnings than non-diversified firms. We examine
this claim in the seasoned equity offering (SEO) setting, where firms have been shown to have the incentive to manage earnings
upwards. Using the cross-sectional modified Jones [(1991) J Accounting Res 29:193–228] model to measure discretionary current accruals, we find that discretionary current accruals
are higher among diversified firms than in non-diversified ones. Our evidence is consistent with the view that the extent
of firm diversification is directly related to the degree of earnings management. We further show that diversified issuers
with high discretionary accruals underperformed other SEO firms.

In this paper, we examine the time variation in transaction costs relative to excess returns, in a panel consisting of 10
international equity indices over the time period 1984–2005. This is undertaken by extending the consumption CAPM (CCAPM)
model proposed by Campbell and Shiller (Rev. Financ. Stud. 1:195–228, 1988) to incorporate time varying proportional transaction costs. We rigorously address both the cross-country heterogeneity in
the estimated model and endogeneity. We find strong evidence that suggests transaction costs should be included as an additional
explanatory variable in the CCAPM. This leads to the conclusion that transaction costs should be included in asset pricing
models as their stochastic process impacts directly on private consumption expenditure.

This paper develops a theory of a firm’s hedging decision with endogenous leverage. In contrast to previous models in the
literature, our framework is based on less restrictive distributional assumptions and allows a closed-form analytical solution
to the joint optimization problem. Using anecdotal evidence of greater benefits of risk management for firms selling “credence
goods” or products that involve long-term relationships, we prove that those optimally leveraged firms, which face more convex
indirect bankruptcy cost functions, will choose higher hedge ratios. Moreover, we suggest a new approach to test this relationship
empirically.

This study examines the effect of transaction costs on the time series behavior of stock returns over a period surrounding
the April 1989 changes in tax rates on securities transactions and capital gains in Japan. We find significant decreases in
estimates of the first-order autocorrelation in returns for Japanese stocks listed in Japan, but no changes for Japanese stocks
dually listed in the United States as American Depository Receipts (ADRs), which were not subject to the tax law change. We
also find lower price basis between the ADRs and their underlying Japanese stocks. These results are consistent with the hypothesis
that a reduction in transaction costs improves the efficiency of the price discovery process.

This article examines the effect of organizational forms on corporate dividend decisions by exploring the differences in dividend
payout ratios between mutual and stock property–liability (P–L) insurers in the US. Our large sample evidence suggests: (1)
mutual insurers tend to have a lower dividend payout ratio than stock insurers and the observed difference is about 4% points,
holding other factors constant; (2) mutual insurers tend to adjust dividend payout ratios toward their long-run target levels
more slowly than stock firms. These results are consistent with the capital constraints and/or greater agency costs of equity
in mutual insurers.

This paper investigates the change in value relevance of quarterly foreign sales data of U.S.-based multinational enterprises
after adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131). First, I examine whether the interim foreign
sales data of all sample firms are valued at a higher rate by equity investors after the firms adopt SFAS 131. My empirical
findings indicate that for all sample firms the value relevance of quarterly foreign sales data increases after the firms
adopt SFAS 131. I then examine whether the valuation consequence of firms that change their geographic segment definition
after they adopt SFAS 131—segment change firms—changes after those firms adopt SFAS 131. Based on the empirical results, I
conclude that quarterly foreign sales data of segment change firms are priced at a relatively higher rate after SFAS 131 is
adopted.

This study investigates firms’ decisions to disclose accruals information in earnings press releases versus to provide it
only in 10-Q filings and the impact of this disclosure on the pricing of accruals. I find that firms disclose accruals in
their press releases when earnings alone are a weak indication of cash flow performance and that following these disclosures
the accruals information is fully impounded into stock prices. The evidence suggests that when investor demand for accruals
is likely to exist and firms disclose the information in earnings press releases, the mispricing typically associated with
accruals is mitigated.

We empirically examine how governance structure affects the design of executive compensation contracts and in particular, the implicit weights of firm performance measures in CEO’s compensation. We find that compensation contracts in firms with higher takeover protection and where the CEO has more influence on governance decisions put more weight on accounting-based measures of performance (return on assets) compared to stock-based performance measures (market returns). In additional tests, we further find that CEO compensation in these firms has lower variance and a higher proportion of cash (versus stock-based) compensation. We further find that CEOs’ incentives (measured as changes in CEO annual wealth which includes expected changes in the value of the CEO’s equity holdings in addition to yearly compensation) do not vary across governance structures. These findings are consistent with CEOs in firms with high takeover protection and where they have more influence on governance negotiating different contracts.

We investigate the volatility impacts of the full commission deregulation in Japan in October 1999, and find that the deregulation
overall tends to significantly increase price volatility in the Japanese equity market, using alternative model specifications
and control variables. This finding contrasts with previous evidence that implies a positive relation between transaction
costs and price volatility, while consistent from the converse with the hypothesis proposed by Stiglitz (1989) and Summers and Summers (1989). Our results suggest that imposing higher transaction costs might still be a feasible policy tool for stabilizing the market
by curbing short-term noise trading.

In this paper we test the theory according to which multimarket contact is a crucial factor hampering competition among firms,
because it lowers the incentive to behave aggressively in one market if there is fear that rivals retaliate in other common
markets. We consider the Italian banking industry in the period 2002–2005, employing both market-level and firm-level data.
The empirical evidence supports theory predictions, since profitability is positively related to the average number of contacts
among banks, and appear to be higher for those credit institutions experiencing more links. This result has also policy implications,
given the increasing consolidation (and hence the growing number of interactions in local markets) that has characterized
this sector in the last years.

We examine financially distressed firms and document how governance characteristics affect (1) a firm’s ability to avoid bankruptcy
and (2) the power of financial/accounting information to predict bankruptcy. Overall, our findings indicate that a distressed
firm’s governance characteristics significantly affect its probability of bankruptcy. We find that smaller and more independent
boards with a higher ratio of non-inside directors and with larger ownership stakes of inside directors are more effective
at avoiding bankruptcy once distress is indicated. These results are consistent with the belief that these types of governance
structures induce more effective monitoring. The results are also consistent with the view that the inclusion of governance
characteristics enhances the power of financial accounting models in predicting bankruptcy.

Heterogeneous multiple bank financing: does it reduce inefficient credit-renegotiation incidences? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Christina E. Bannier 《Financial Markets and Portfolio Management》2007,21(4):445-470
Small and medium-sized firms often obtain capital via a mixture of relationship and arm’s-length bank lending. We show that
such heterogeneous multiple bank financing leads to a lower probability of inefficient credit foreclosure than both monopoly
relationship lending and homogeneous multiple bank financing. Yet, in order to reduce hold-up and coordination-failure risk,
the relationship bank’s fraction of total firm debt must not become too large. For firms with intermediate expected profits,
the probability of inefficient credit-renegotiation is shown to decrease along with the relationship bank’s information precision.
For firms with extremely high or extremely low expected returns, however, it increases.

We examine stock market reactions to corporate credit rating changes in 26 emerging market countries included in the Morgan
Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Emerging Market Index. We hypothesize and test the notion that emerging market firms
in the American Depository Receipts (ADRs) markets are more likely to purchase ratings from the Big Two (Moody’s and S&P),
and that they react more strongly to the announcements of corporate rating changes by Moody’s or S&P than to those of raters
in local markets. We compare the effect of credit rating changes of the Big Two in two emerging stock markets: local markets
(local currencies) and ADR markets (U.S. dollars). We find significant price reactions in the ADR markets, and insignificant
reactions in local markets, and conclude that there is capital market segmentation in ADR markets for credit rating changes
of emerging market firms. We find evidence that investors react more strongly in the ADR markets than local markets because
they require higher costs of capital for firms cross-listed both in the ADR markets and local markets due to greater expected
bankruptcy costs and foreign exchange risks of those firms. We also report that stock markets react significantly, not only
to rating downgrades, but also to upgrades in the ADR markets.

We investigate if the SEC’s recently mandated disclosure of fees for audit and nonaudit services paid by firms to their incumbent auditors affected the market’s perception of auditor independence and earnings quality. Following the initial fee disclosures in 2001, we find that the market valuation of quarterly earnings surprises (earnings response coefficient) was significantly lower for firms with high levels of nonaudit fees than for firms with low levels of such fees. In contrast, in the year prior to the new fee disclosures, there was no reduction in earnings response coefficients for firms that subsequently reported high nonaudit fees. Our evidence suggests that mandated fee disclosures provided new information that was viewed by the market as relevant to appraising auditor independence and earnings quality.

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between innovation and performance for German firms that went public
at the “Neuer Markt” during the period from 1997 to 2002. In the empirical analysis we investigate in particular whether initial
public offerings (IPOs) with more or higher quality patents outperformed IPOs with lower quality or no patented technology.
For this we measure the impact of patents on underpricing and long-run performance and explain the magnitude of these valuation
effects with the Fama–French value and growth factors, with patent-specific variables such as the number of IPC-classes, family
size, the number of backward and forward citations, as well as with industry variables. The empirical evidence suggests that
patents are a reliable indicator for the success and the short- and long-run performance of start-up technology firms that
went public and that the valuation effects are more pronounced for higher quality patents.
