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 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.

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.

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.

Using Spanish data, this paper examines, for the first time, the differences in the intraday response of an order-driven market
to earnings announcements made during trading and non-trading hours. We show that the speed of reaction depends on timing
of the announcement: for overnight (daytime) announcements, the improvement in liquidity is (not) immediate. This finding
could explain why Spanish firms prefer to release the bad (good) earnings announcement in trading (non-trading) hours. This
strategic timing differs from the traditional disclosure policy in American markets, suggesting that different microstructures
may react differently to news releases and, consequently, drive the strategic timing of corporate disclosures.

This study investigates Real Estate Investment Trusts’ momentum returns in different market states, and explains the momentum
phenomenon with a risk-based dividend growth theory of Johnson (Journal of Finance 57:585–608, 2002). Our results show that
momentum returns of REITs are higher during up markets. This study finds that winners’ dividend/price ratios are higher than
those of losers, and momentum returns are positively correlated with the difference between winners’ and losers’ dividend/price
ratios. We also find that momentum returns are higher after the legislation change of REITs in 1992, and that dividend/price
ratios of REITs are also higher after 1992, suggesting that a persistent shock to REIT’s dividend/price ratios in 1992 partly
explains REITs’ higher momentum returns after 1992. In sum, results of this study suggest that momentum returns of REITs can
be jointly explained by a time-varying factor (market state) and a cross-sectional variance in dividend yields.

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.

Do firms understate stock option-based compensation expense disclosed under SFAS 123? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Focusing on the four key option pricing model inputs—expected option life, expected stock price volatility, expected dividend yield, and the risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the option—this study finds that firms understate option value estimates and, thus, stock-based compensation expense disclosed under SFAS 123. As predicted based on incentives and opportunities for management to understate SFAS 123 expense, the understatement of option value estimates is increasing in proxies for the magnitude of the expense, is greater for firms with weaker corporate governance, and, to a lesser extent, is increasing in the excessiveness of executive pay. The findings are strongest for the expected option life and expected stock price volatility input assumptions, consistent with firms’ greater latitude in determining these inputs. We find weaker evidence of understatement associated with the expected dividend yield assumption, and none for the interest rate assumption, consistent with these inputs being less amenable to discretion. Taken together, our findings raise some concern that the exercise of management discretion adversely affects the overall reliability of SFAS 123 expense.

This paper studies the determinants of corporate hedging practices in the REIT industry between 1999 and 2001. We find a positive
significant relation between hedging and financial leverage, indicating the financial distress costs motive for using derivatives
in the REIT industry. Using estimates of the Black–Scholes sensitivity of CEO’s stock option portfolios to stock return volatility
and the sensitivity of CEO’s stock and stock option portfolios to stock price, we find evidence to support managerial risk
aversion motive for corporate hedging in the REIT industry. Our results indicate that CEO’s cash compensation and the CEO’s
wealth sensitivity to stock return volatility are significant determinants of derivative use in REITs. We also document a
significant positive relation between institutional ownership and hedging activity. Further, we find that probability of hedging
is related to economies of scale in hedging costs.

Our study assesses whether SFAS No. 131 improved disclosure about the diversity of multiple segment firms’ operations. We
find a post-SFAS No. 131 increase in cross-segment variability of segment profits, an increase in the association between
reported and inherent cross-segment variability, and an increase in association between reported variability and capital market
incentives to disclose. We interpret the results as evidence that SFAS No. 131 increased the transparency of segment profitability
disclosures, and as indicating SFAS No. 131 allowed firms depending more on external financing to disclose more about differences
in segment profitability.

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 study a two-period bargaining game where buyers and sellers employ real estate agents to help them determine the sales
price of a house. We find that agents are less likely to provide aggressive bargaining advice to their client when they receive
percentage commissions and when they work for the buyer. In addition, we find that agents are less likely to suggest aggressive
bargaining strategies when there is little market competition, the gains to trade are large, in markets where housing values
appreciate slowly, and when dual agency is permitted. More importantly, we show that an agent is more likely to bargain aggressively
and capture a portion of the gains to trade for a client when the house’s sales price is closely related to the agent’s reputation
and future business (referrals).

This study examines whether reported values for firms’ research and development (R&D) affect analysts’ annual earnings forecast
revisions following quarterly earnings announcements. Because R&D introduces uncertainty into earnings forecasts, analysts
may benefit from additional information searches in an effort to increase forecast accuracy. Also, accounting standards mandate
an immediate expensing of R&D, in essence projecting a zero value for the R&D. To the extent that R&D will produce future
payoffs, the expense treatment reduces the informativeness of reported earnings for forecasting future earnings. Thus, the
marginal benefit of analysts’ efforts to produce more information may increase with the magnitude of the R&D component of
earnings announcements and trigger additional forecast revisions. Alternatively, if the cost of information searches exceeds
the benefit, analysts’ forecast revisions may decrease.
Our results show a positive relation between R&D expenses and analysts’ forecast revision activity. We also find a positive
and significant association between the level of R&D expenses and the magnitude of analysts’ forecast revisions following
quarterly announcements. These results point to a greater amount of analyst scrutiny when reported earnings are accompanied
by high levels of R&D expenses.

Prior results from the labor relations literature suggest that revealing information weakens management’s position in collective bargaining. Thus, when facing organized labor, management has an incentive to preserve the information asymmetry with outsiders. This study uses a sample from a large cross-section of the economy over several years to test this relation. Results are consistent with this prediction. Strong organized labor is associated with higher bid-ask spreads, higher probability of informed trading, lower trading volume and lower analyst coverage. These relations hold after controlling for numerous factors such as growth opportunities or risk.

Corporate voluntary disclosure and the separation of cash flow rights from control rights 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Kin-Wai Lee 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2007,28(4):393-416
We find that corporate voluntary disclosure is negatively associated with the separation of cash flow rights from control
rights. This result is consistent with the notion that as the separation of cash flow rights from control rights increases,
controlling owners have larger incentives to expropriate the wealth of minority shareholders and low corporate disclosure
constitutes a mechanism to facilitate controlling owners in masking their private benefits of control. The negative association
between voluntary disclosure and the separation of cash flow rights from control rights is less pronounced for firms with
greater external financing needs. This result suggests that for firms with high separation of cash flow rights from control
rights, those with greater external financing needs undertake higher firm-level voluntary disclosure to reduce information
asymmetry. We also find that the negative association between voluntary disclosure and the separation of cash flow rights
from control rights is less pronounced for firms that have a large non-management shareholder. Our result supports the role
of large non-management shareholder in mitigating agency problems associated with the separation of ownership and control.

This paper examines the ex-dividend stock price and trading volume behavior in the Greek stock market for the period 2000–2004.
We use both standard event-study methodology and cross-sectional regression analysis in assessing the ex-dividend stock price
anomaly. We find that stock prices drop less than the dividend amount. By examining abnormal returns as well as abnormal trading
volume around the ex-dividend day, we find strong evidence of short-term trading, which is consistent with the presence of
dividend-capturing activities around the ex-dividend day. The results from the cross-sectional regression analysis confirm
that the short-term trading hypothesis explains the ex-dividend day stock price anomaly in Greece.

We propose two alternative models to estimate fundamental prices on real estate markets. The first model is based on a no-arbitrage
condition between renting and buying. The second model interprets the period costs as the result of market equilibrium between
housing demand and supply. We estimate both models for the USA, the UK, Japan, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. We find that
observed prices deviate substantially and for long periods from their estimated fundamental values. However, we find some
evidence that, in the long-run, actual prices tend to return to their fundamental values progressively. This result is due
to both impulse–response functions and forecast analyses. In particular, we find that using the fundamental price significantly
increases the accuracy of out-of-sample long-term forecasts of the price.

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.

This paper examines the use of futures contracts to hedge residential real estate price risk. We examine whether existing
futures contacts can effectively be used to offset volatility in national house prices. Little evidence of any simple systematic
relation between national prices and futures prices is found. Since house prices are not easily replicated with a portfolio
of existing futures contracts, a further implication is that the Chicago Mercantile’s introduction of a financial asset whose
value reflects house prices will help complete the market. Nevertheless, the success of the CME’s new derivative contracts
may be limited in light of state and regional house price correlations.

Our study analyzes market reaction to the entire content of a large sample of analysts’ reports from the period 2002 to 2004
for the German market. In particular, we explore whether the three summary measures in the reports, i.e., recommendation revisions,
earnings forecast revisions, and target price forecast revisions are acknowledged by the market. Additionally, we investigate
if stated justifications in the written text of analysts’ reports contain information value beyond the three summary measures.
We find that earnings forecast revisions and target price forecast revisions contain valuable information, both unconditionally
and conditional on the rest of the information in the report. Our findings also reveal that justifications made by analysts
are of high salience to market participants. These justifications provide valuable information, both unconditionally and conditional
on all other types of information in a report. Our findings also suggest that business ties between banks and the analyzed
companies do not affect market reaction to dissemination of an analysts’ report.
