管理者过度自信与企业盈余管理行为研究

本文以我国上市公司作为研究样本,依据行为金融理论,从管理者过度自信角度研究了企业盈余管理行为。研究发现,管理者过度自信既会导致公司正向盈余管理行为的发生,也会导致负向盈余管理行为的发生。进一步研究发现,女性比例越高的管理团队越有可能进行盈余管理,管理团队的年龄越小越有可能进行正向盈余管理,管理团队学历越低越有可能进行负向盈余管理行为。本文对研究公司选择会计政策行为,治理公司盈余管理行为乃至完善公司治理结构均具有一定的启示。     

管理者过度自信对企业过度投资影响的实证研究

本文以非金融类A股上市公司为研究样本,主要考察了管理者过度自信与企业过度投资之间的关系。研究发现,过度自信的管理者倾向于过度投资。本文还对过度自信管理者的过度投资行为对现金流的敏感性进行了分析,但其结果并不显著。     

金融管理者自信对公司盈余管理行为的研究——来自我国主板市场金融板块股的经验证据

本文以行为金融学及过度自信理论为背景,利用金融类上市公司的财务数据,对我国主板市场金融板块股2010~2012年的经验证据进行汇总,借鉴并改进Jones模型对我国金融类企业盈余管理的程度进行测度,为管理者非理性角度研究金融企业盈余管理行为提供了新思路。结果与相关研究一致,金融类企业高管存在过度自信,针对金融行业的特殊性,对盈余管理操控程度不大。相关部门应制定有效政策方案,发挥盈余管理的作用,提升金融类企业业绩。     

管理者过度自信、投资者情绪与上市公司负债融资决策

文章以情绪感染理论为理论基础,实证检验了管理者过度自信、投资者情绪与上市公司负债融资决策的关系.文章以2005年-2013年沪深A股在第三季度披露盈余预告的公司为研究对象,以上年度累积月度股票收益率作为投资者情绪的度量指标,以盈余预测偏差作为管理者过度自信的度量指标,以资产负债率和长期借款与资产总额的比例作为公司负债融资和长期负债融资的测量指标,并选取公司规模、公司的成长性、盈利能力、有形资产担保价值、公司的实际所得税率以及企业自由现金流为控制变量,同时引入年度和行业虚拟变量,通过全样本、投资者情绪高涨组、投资者情绪低落组三个模型的回归分析发现,过度自信的管理者更倾向于进行负债融资和长期负债融资,当受到高涨的投资者情绪感染时,过度自信的管理者对负债融资和长期负债融资的偏好进一步加强;当受到低落的投资者情绪感染时,过度自信的管理者不再偏好负债融资和长期负债融资.     

管理者非理性行为与非效率投资关系研究

本文基于有限理性假设,以中国A股上市公司2009-2015年财务数据作为研究样本,研究管理者的三种非理性行为(管理者过度自信、管理者风险偏好和管理者从众行为)对企业非效率投资的共同影响。结果表明:管理者过度自信与管理者从众行为会导致上市公司非效率投资;过度自信和非过度自信管理者的从众行为均会加剧企业非效率投资,非过度自信管理者的从众行为对非效率投资的影响尤为严重;过度自信管理者的风险偏好与非效率投资显著正相关,而非过度自信管理者的风险偏好与非效率投资显著负相关,即非过度自信管理者适当的风险偏好行为在一定程度上会缓解企业非效率投资。因此,要想提高公司非效率投资管理应从管理者的心理素质培养入手,重点培养其避免从众心理,积极主动地根据自己企业的实际情况进行投资;对非过度自信的管理者还需要培养其适当的风险偏好。     

管理者过度自信文献综述

随着行为金融理论的兴起,过度自信现象越来越受到关注。本文梳理了影响管理者过度的因素以及管理者过度自信对企业投资、财务结构以及盈余管理的影响。并对国内外关于过度自信的文献进行了对比分析,找出了更符合我国国情和实际情况的衡量指标。     

我国上市公司盈余管理实证研究

盈余管理是困扰上市公司信息质量的一个主要问题.过度的盈余管理,必然造成会计信息失真,影响资本市场的资源配置.从上市公司盈余管理的配股动机出发,采用Fama-French三因素模型分析配股政策对上市公司盈余管理行为的影响,结果表明:配股政策对上市公司盈余管理行为有显著影响,我国上市公司的盈余管理行为是政策诱导型的.因此,加强证券市场监管是治理盈余管理问题的根本出路.     

破解上市公司盈余管理治理新思路——基于资产减值的视角

上市公司过度的盈余管理行为已经导致会计信息失真，误导投资者，因此必须加以控制。本文以现行资产减值准则颁布前后资产减值准备计提情况为研究对象，对上市公司利用资产减值准备进行盈余管理的现状和现行资产减值准则关于长期资产的变化对盈余管理影响进行分析，以寻求进一步完善我国会计准则，治理过度的盈余管理的具体办法。     

管理者行为、企业生命周期与非效率投资

本文从企业生命周期视角研究管理者代理行为和管理者过度自信对企业非效率投资的动态影响。选取2012-2015年深沪主板上市公司数据进行实证检验,结果表明:随着企业生命周期的发展,管理者代理行为逐渐加强,管理者过度自信水平却逐渐减弱。管理者代理行为和过度自信共同导致企业非效率投资,成长期阶段的企业非效率投资主要受管理者过度自信的显著影响,管理者代理行为对企业非效率投资影响不显著;成熟期阶段的企业非效率投资既受管理者代理行为的显著影响,也受管理者过度自信的显著影响;衰退期阶段的企业非效率投资则主要受管理者代理行为的显著影响,管理者过度自信对企业非效率投资影响不显著。     

盈余管理与短期资产减值准备关系的实证研究

本文选取2009年—2012年我国A股的工业上市公司的数据,对上市公司盈余管理的动机与短期资产减值准备的关系进行了实证研究。研究发现:微利公司、配股达线公司倾向于少计提短期资产减值准备以避免亏损,亏损公司倾向于多计提减值准备进行盈余大冲洗,高盈利公司则利用资产减值准备进行利润平滑,而对于当年扭亏的上市公司则不存在利用短期资产减值准备进行扭亏的动机。     

Short-sale refinancing and price adjustment speed to bad news: Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

Short selling may accelerate stock price adjustment to negative news. However, the literature provides mixed evidence for this prediction. Using short-sale refinancing and a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) model, this paper explores the effect of short selling on stock price adjustment. Our results show that (1) short-sale refinancing improves the speed of stock price adjustment to negative news. This result holds after we control for endogeneity. (2) The positive relationship between short-sale refinancing and stock price adjustment speed is significant in subsamples of stocks with higher earnings management or lower accuracy of analyst forecasts, indicating that firms with more opaque information are more likely to be targeted by short sellers. In subsamples of stocks with a higher ownership concentration or lower ownership by institutional investors, short selling is more likely to increase the speed of stock price adjustment, indicating that ownership structure may influence negative news mining. (3) As short-sale refinancing exacerbates the absorption of bad news by stock prices, it increases crash risk. This study enriches the research on the economic consequences of short selling and provides empirical evidence supporting regulations on short selling in China.

The case for management history

This article defines the case for treating management history as a discrete subject area, although one closely related to business, accounting, labour, and industrial history. It seeks to concentrate on the nature, process, and practice of management as an activity within the organization, and to argue that it is important that modern British managers understand the intellectual and cultural roots of their profession, since without these they will tend to be swayed by short-term management 'fads'. Within the broad topic there are several identifiable sub-areas for potential exploration, including the comparative historical development of management between different countries, management institutions, managerial careers and labour markets, management structures, management skills, and management thought and theory.     

The life and career of John Spence Ogilvy (1805-71), the first chartered accountant to emigrate to Australia

So far as the available evidence allows, this paper examines the life and career of John Spence Ogilvy, foundation member of the Society of Accountants in Edinburgh in 1854, who emigrated to Melbourne in 1856, but did not play a part in the development of an organized accounting profession in Australia. The paper also attempts to explain the gap of thirty-two years between the formation of the first accounting bodies in Edinburgh and Melbourne.

Bayesian Premium Rating with Latent Structure

We propose a fully Bayesian approach to non-life risk premium rating, based on hierarchical models with latent variables for both claim frequency and claim size. Inference is based on the joint posterior distribution and is performed by Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Rather than plug-in point estimates of all unknown parameters, we take into account all sources of uncertainty simultaneously when the model is used to predict claims and estimate risk premiums. Several models are fitted to both a simulated dataset and a small portfolio regarding theft from cars. We show that interaction among latent variables can improve predictions significantly. We also investigate when interaction is not necessary. We compare our results with those obtained under a standard generalized linear model and show through numerical simulation that geographically located and spatially interacting latent variables can successfully compensate for missing covariates. However, when applied to the real portfolio data, the proposed models are not better than standard models due to the lack of spatial structure in the data.
