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.

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 addresses the question of whether shares of public real estate companies should be treated as real estate or as
equity investments. Because theoretical considerations do not suffice for making such a classification, we empirically investigate
correlation structures and cointegration relationships of private and public real estate and equity markets for the United
States and the United Kingdom. Our results suggest that public real estate stocks show similarities to the general stock market
with regard to short-term return co-movements. For long-term investment horizons, the interdependence between direct and securitized
real estate is much stronger. However, in the latter case, real estate stocks substantially lead the private property markets.

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.

Publicly traded versus privately held: implications for conditional conservatism in bank accounting 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Compared with privately held banks, publicly traded banks face greater agency costs because of greater separation of ownership
and control but enjoy greater benefits from access to the equity capital market. Differences in control and capital market
access influence public versus private banks’ accounting. We predict and find that public banks exhibit greater degrees of
conditional conservatism (asymmetric timeliness of the recognition of losses versus gains in accounting income) than private
banks. We predict and find that public banks recognize more timely earnings declines, less timely earnings increases, and
larger and more timely loan losses. Although public ownership gives managers greater ability and incentive to exercise income-increasing
accounting, our findings show that the demand for conservatism dominates within public banks and that the demand for conservatism
is greater among public banks than private banks. Our results provide insights for accounting and finance academics, bank
managers, auditors, and regulators concerning the effects of ownership structure on conditional conservatism in banks’ financial
reporting.

Financial statement effects of adopting international accounting standards: the case of Germany 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Using a sample of German firms, we investigate the financial statement effects of adopting International Accounting Standards
(IAS) during 1998 through 2002. We find that total assets and book value of equity, as well as variability of book value and
income, are significantly higher under IAS than under German GAAP (HGB). In addition, book value and income are no more value
relevant under IAS than under HGB, and HGB (IAS) income is highly persistent (transitory). Finally, we find weak evidence
that IAS income exhibits greater conditional conservatism than HGB income. Our results are consistent with the fair-value
(income smoothing) orientation of IAS (HGB).

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.

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.

We show that candlestick charting, the oldest known form of technical analysis, is not profitable in the Japanese equity market
over the 1975–2004 period. Candlestick technical analysis, which was developed in Japan in the 1600s, is deeply intertwined
with Japanese culture and is very popular in Japan. However, there is no evidence candlestick technical trading strategies
add value in either the entire 30 year period, in three 10 year sub-periods or in bull or bear markets.

This study examines the linkage between equity real estate investment trust (REIT) returns and the private real estate factor.
The results reveal a tighter connection between REIT and the private real estate market starting from 1993. In addition, large-cap
REITs seem to behave more like real estate than do small-cap REITs. Overall, the results are consistent with three notions:
(1) that institutional investors provide information-gathering services (Bradrinath et al., Rev. Financ. Stud., 8:401–430, 1995), (2) that a more sophisticated investor base improves information flow, and (3) that a high degree of participation
from institutional investors strengthens the linkage between REIT returns and the underlying real estate factor (Ziering et
al., The evolution of public and private market investing in the new real estate capital markets, Prudential Real Estate Investors, Parsippany, NJ, 1997).

We examine shareholder wealth effects in a heterogeneous sample of 115 European leveraged going private transactions from
1997 to 2005. Average abnormal returns as reaction to the LBO announcement amount to 24.20%. In cross-sectional regressions,
we find that these value gains can largely be attributed to differences in corporate governance: on a macro level, abnormal
returns for pre-LBO shareholders are larger in countries with a poor protection of minority shareholders. On a firm level,
companies with a high pre-LBO free float and comparatively weak monitoring by shareholders tend to show high abnormal returns.
Furthermore, companies that are undervalued with respect to an industry peer-group exhibit higher announcement returns, indicating
that agency conflicts and/or market inefficiencies can serve as an explanation.

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.

We document in this study that investors react positively to restructuring that is expected to be successful in improving
firm performance. Investors’ reaction is significantly negative to unsuccessful firms when the magnitude of restructuring
charges is high. Our results also show that investors’ reaction is significantly positive to restructuring that is intended
to save costs through “workforce reduction” and “facility closings/consolidations”, but it is insignificant when restructuring
is undertaken to recognize decline in asset values by asset write-offs and/or write-downs. Investor reaction is measured by
12-month buy-and-hold abnormal returns, whereas successful restructuring to improve the firm performance is based on the change
in operating performance, measured by the industry-adjusted return on equity (ROE), over two subsequent years after restructuring.

This paper investigates whether it is possible to create value through the active management of direct property portfolios.
Using data from the USA, the UK and Australia, we examine whether trading intensity and portfolio growth explain the risk
and return characteristics of listed property companies. The results suggest that beating the market by pursuing tactical
asset selection and investment timing strategies is difficult even when acquiring and disposing of properties in illiquid
private property markets. When the property type in which the firm specializes is included as a control variable in the regressions,
none of the portfolio management intensity indicators developed in this paper is significantly associated with abnormal performance
or systematic risk.

Inspired by Vassalou (J Financ Econ 68:47–73, 2003), we investigate the contention that the Fama and French (J Financ Econ 33:3–56, 1993) model’s ability to explain the cross sectional variation in equity returns is because the Fama–French factors are proxying
for risk associated with future GDP growth in the Australian equities market. To assess the validity of Vassalou’s findings,
we augment the CAPM and the Fama–French model with a GDP growth factor and run system regressions of the GDP-enhanced models
using the GMM approach. Our results suggest that news about future GDP growth is not priced in equity returns and that any
ability that SMB and HML exhibit in explaining equity returns is not because they contain information about future GDP growth.

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.

This paper extends the extant literature in understanding the effects of equity and debt on delinquency and default by focusing
on a variant of borrower equity where part of equity is “protected”. The CPF scheme in Singapore stipulates that the refund
of borrower’s retirement funds utilized for property purchase prior to September 2002 takes priority over loan obligations.
A decision to utilize CPF for property purchase actually increases ex post delinquency and default risk as it effectively
reduces cash equity commitment. In particular, any erosion in house value that places protected equity at risk translates
into potential wealth reduction or financial liability for the borrower. While loss aversion is evident for non-distressed
sellers, the effect of equity losses for distressed borrowers is not as clear. Our research suggests that averting losses
in committed equity may be a secondary consideration for borrower subject to income shocks, recognizing that delinquency and
default are precursors to foreclosure. Interestingly, we find that the borrowers are strongly averse to incurring protected
equity-induced wealth loss or financial liability. This study suggests that the first-lien “anomaly” associated with CPF refund
may reduce delinquency and default risks for mortgage backed securities.

Joint accounting choices: an examination of firms’ adoption strategies for SFAS No. 106 AND SFAS No. 109 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Debra Jeter Paul Chaney Michele Daley 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2008,30(2):153-185
We provide insight into an argument that firms minimize the costs imposed by new accounting standards through their adoption
choices. Focusing on two standards with potentially large impacts on both balance sheet and income statement accounts for
many firms, we present evidence that firms chose their strategies for SFAS No. 106 (OPEB) and 109 (DTAX) jointly rather than
separately. We also provide insight into how firms view recurring versus non-recurring charges, and how they weigh the tradeoff
between a large one-time (income decreasing) charge against the smaller, but longer lasting effects of amortization.

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

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.

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.
