Landsman and Maydew (J Acc Res 40:797–808, 2002) document that the information content of earnings announcements has increased
over the past three decades, and Francis et al. (Acc Rev, 77:515–546, 2002) conclude that expanded concurrent disclosures
in firms’ earnings announcements, especially the inclusion of detailed income statements, explain this increase. We posit
and find that the temporal increase in the intensity of the market’s reaction to Street earnings offers a competing explanation
for the Landsman and Maydew finding. We also find that expanded concurrent disclosure of GAAP-based information contributes
to the temporal increase in the information content of earnings announcements. However, unlike Francis et al., we find that
the temporal increase in concurrent balance sheet and cash flow statement information dominates concurrent income statement
information once we control for Street earnings.

We examine disagreement between management and Thomson Datastream over the persistence of earnings components. Using income
statement and footnote disclosures, we identify the source and properties of disputed items. Disagreements typically reflect
opaque reporting practices (for example, in the case of transitory operating items) and restrictive classification rules (for
example, in the case of discontinued operations). Incremental and relative value relevance tests suggest that the majority
of management-specific adjustments reflect appropriate classification of earnings components by insiders. Nevertheless, evidence
consistent with strategic disclosure does emerge for a subset of management adjustments.

The literature has suggested that earnings and earnings forecasts provide stronger signals than dividends about future performance
of a firm. We test the information effects of simultaneous announcement of earnings and dividends in the Hong Kong market,
distinguished by three interesting features (concentrated family-shareholdings, low corporate transparency, and no tax on
dividends). Our results show significant share price reactions to unexpected earnings and dividend changes, but dividends
appear to play a dominant role over earnings in pricing, a result contrary to findings in the literature. The signaling hypothesis
works primarily for firms with earning increases, while the maturity hypothesis works mainly for firms with earnings declines.

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.

Investment opportunities,free cash flow,and stock valuation effects of secured debt offerings 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Shao-Chi Chang Sheng-Syan Chen Ailing Hsing Chia Wei Huang 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2007,28(2):123-145
This paper examines the role of investment opportunities and free cash flow in explaining the source of the stock valuation
effects of secured debt offerings. We find a significantly positive relation between a firm's investment opportunities and
its stock price response to announcements of secured debt issues. This evidence supports the investment opportunities hypothesis
that secured debt financing is more valuable for issuing firms with high growth opportunities. In contrast, we find a lack
of support for the free cash flow hypothesis. These findings hold even after controlling for other potentially influential
variables. Our study provides a better understanding of the relative importance of various potential determinants in explaining
the variation in the valuation impact of secured debt issues.

We show that the asymmetric effects of income taxes and special items for profit and loss firms contribute to a discontinuity
at zero in the distribution of earnings. Income taxes draw profit observations towards zero while negative special items pull
loss observations away from zero. These earnings components are thus expected to contribute to a discontinuity even in the
absence of discretion. We show our results are not an artifact of deflation and that other common components of earnings do
not have similar effects on the earnings distribution around zero.

The paper uses Ohlson (Contemp Account Res 11:661–687, 1995) and compares the relative predictability of the proposed simultaneous
model for contemporaneous stock price with a traditional single equation model used by the previous studies. The paper also
explores how residual income and value-relevant information affect firms’ equity price. The main results of the paper suggest
that the predictive ability and estimation efficiency of the simultaneous models in explaining contemporaneous stock prices
are better than those of the traditional single models. Moreover, investors will use the value-relevant information beyond
accounting earnings, namely analysts’ earnings forecasts, bankruptcy cost and agency cost, in equity valuation to make decision.
Note particularly, the higher the bankruptcy or agency cost is, the more important the role it plays in equity valuation and,
on average, the higher the accuracy of price prediction is.

The Greenspan years: an analysis of the magnitude and speed of the equity market response to FOMC announcements 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Allan A. Zebedee Eric Bentzen Peter R. Hansen Asger Lunde 《Financial Markets and Portfolio Management》2008,22(1):3-20
We examine the impact of monetary policy on the S&P 500 using intraday data. The analysis shows an economically and statistically
significant relationship between S&P 500 intraday returns and changes in the Fed funds target rate. The significance and magnitude
of the response is dependent on whether the change was expected or unexpected. An expected change in the Fed funds target
rate has no impact on prices in the broad equity market; however, an unexpected change of 25 basis points in the Fed funds
target rate results in an approximate 48 basis points decline in the broad equity market’s return. The speed of these market
reactions is rapid with the equity market reaching a new equilibrium within 15 minutes.

We provide an alternative explanation for the previous finding of analysts’ overreaction to extreme good news in earnings.
We show that such finding could be a result of analysts’ rational behavior in the face of high earnings uncertainty rather
than their cognitive bias. Extreme earnings performance tends to be associated with higher earnings uncertainty that generally
leads to more forecast optimism. Once this effect is accounted for, the univariate result of analysts’ overreaction to extreme
good news in earnings is subsumed, leaving only their underreaction in general.

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.

Rewriting earnings history 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Research on the usefulness of financial information generally focuses on the innovation in the information examined, such
as an earnings surprise or cash flow growth. Consequently, prior research sheds little light on the role of the rich historical
record of financial information in users’ decision-making. Using a sample of published restatements of earnings, we show that
the revision of the historical pattern of earnings, distinct from the magnitude of the restatement and its impact on current
earnings, significantly affects investors’ decisions and predicts class action lawsuits. Specifically, we find that restatements
that eliminate or shorten histories of earnings growth or positive earnings have significantly more adverse effects for investor
valuations and the likelihood of lawsuits than other restatements. This evidence about the value-relevance of refreshing the
historical record of earnings is pertinent to the FASB’s recent cautious expansion of the scope of circumstances that require
a restatement of financial information in FAS 154.

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 management typically claims that voluntary accounting method changes (VACs) are made to enhance the informativeness of
earnings by better matching accounting practices with economic reality. In contrast, skeptics argue that managers adopt new
accounting procedures to opportunistically manage earnings and influence their firm’s stock price. In this paper, we investigate
these alternative motives for VACs. Specifically, we investigate whether VACs cause equity prices to deviate from their fundamental
values in the short-term by studying the long-run stock-price performance for a sample of firms that voluntarily change accounting
methods. In addition, we investigate changes in earnings informativeness by examining the behavior of earning response coefficients
and the relationship between earnings and future cash flows in years surrounding the VAC event. In contrast to prior research,
we find little evidence that a strategy based solely on the earnings effect of a VAC can generate abnormal returns. While
we find weak evidence of post-VAC abnormal returns for extreme VACs, this result appears to be driven by the accruals anomaly
documented in Sloan [Sloan, R. G. (1996). The Accounting Review, 71, 289–315]. Our evidence further suggests that earnings informativeness is not significantly altered by voluntary changes
in accounting methods. Taken together, our evidence suggests the market recognizes the financial statement effects of alternative
acceptable accounting methods and efficiently processes the valuation implications of VACs.

In this paper we examine how sales affect earnings and in turn the stock price using a model in which sales contribute to
earnings by a fixed sales margin rate and the stock price responds more sensitively to sales-induced earnings than to non-sales-induced
earnings. We report that the regression coefficient of the sales margin (2.54) is about three times the earnings response
coefficient (0.85) for the full sample and can be as high as 19 times the earnings response coefficient for an industry (i.e.,
11.95 vs. 0.62 for restaurants). We contribute to the literature by identifying and documenting factors that make separating
out the sources of earnings more important in equity pricing.

Value relevance of value-at-risk disclosure 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Chee Yeow Lim Patricia Mui-Siang Tan 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2007,29(4):353-370
The SEC issued FRR No. 48 in 1997 to enhance public disclosure of firms’ exposures to market risk. We examine whether the
quantitative value-at-risk (VAR) estimates disclosed by 81 non-financial firms during the period 1997–2002 are value-relevant
using the earnings-returns relation. The empirical results indicate that high VAR is associated with weaker earnings-returns
relation. Further analysis shows that VAR is positively and significantly associated with future stock return volatility.
Our evidence suggests that investors perceive the earnings of firms with substantial market risk exposure to be less persistent,
and adjust the future abnormal earnings for the higher risk exposure. Thus, this results in a lower expected rate of return.

We find no evidence of accrual mispricing for firms that disclose accrual information at earnings announcements. For these
firms, the market differentiates the discretionary from the nondiscretionary components of the earnings surprise. In contrast,
the market fails to distinguish between the discretionary and the nondiscretionary components of the earnings surprise for
firms that do not disclose accrual information at earnings announcements. These firms experience some stock price correction
around the filing date. However, the correction is only partial, resulting in a post-filing drift.

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.

We condition security price reactions to quarterly earnings announcements on whether firms disclose supplementary balance
sheet and/or cashflow information that can be used to estimate the consequences of earnings management. Disclosure of supplementary
information is voluntary, and thus, we consider the possibility that firms that disclose balance sheet and/or cashflow information
differ systematically from firms that do not disclose. Results indicate that investors discount evidence of earnings management
at the disclosure date when supplementary information is disclosed. Such results indicate more informed earnings interpretations
of quarterly earnings when firms provide balance sheet and/or cashflow information concurrently.

Home Equity,Household Savings and Consumption 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The home-owning family’s equity is a piggybank that can be broken open by borrowing. Each borrowing increases liabilities
and cash equally, initially leaving net wealth unchanged. When those funds are spent and cash balances fall, consumption increases
even as net wealth can decline. In a dynamic optimization, the marginal propensity to consume from net wealth is not always
positive and can be positively correlated with housing debt.

This article revisits the debate on the nature of private placements by specifying that informed insiders make trading decisions
in the secondary market and equity issuance decision in the primary equity market (Lee and Wu (2008)). This article uses conditional residuals from the insider trading regression (abnormal insider trades) and conditional
residuals from equity financing choice regression (unexpected equity financing choice) to measure private information. An
important advantage of conditional correlation coefficient approach over the two-stage approach (Lee and Wu 2008) in testing the presence of asymmetric information is that the former is bounded by −1 and 1 and thus permits cross-sectional
comparisons the relatedness between abnormal insider trades and unexpected equity financing choice.
