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.

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.

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 examine whether managers’ trading decisions (both at a firm and personal level) are correlated with trading strategies
suggested by the operating accruals and the post-earnings announcement drift (SUE) anomalies. We discuss advantages and disadvantages
of the use of managerial trading activity to infer managers’ private valuation about their own securities. Our results provide
corroborative evidence for the accruals anomaly, i.e., managers’ repurchase and insider trading behavior varies consistently
with the information underlying the operating accruals trading strategy. On the other hand, we do not find corroborative evidence
for the SUE anomaly.

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.

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.

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.

The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) could be the foundation of new trading platforms in Europe. This contribution
employs insights from the theoretical and empirical literature to highlight some of the possible implications of MiFID. In
particular, we argue that more competition will lead to more liquid markets, reflected in lower bid–ask spreads and greater
depth. It will also lead to innovation in incumbent markets and stimulate the design of new trading platforms. MiFID has already
introduced more competition, as evidenced by the startup of Instinet Chi-X, the announcement of new initiatives, including
Project Turquoise and BATS, and the reactions of incumbent exchanges.

I analyze implicit transaction costs of trading government debt securities on the Spanish stock exchanges (SE) electronic
trading system. The SE’s multilateral system is used mainly as an outlet for retail investors to liquidate Treasury accounts
positions before maturity. I compare identical Treasury security trades on the same day in two different markets: the SE and
the interdealer market. By analyzing these yield spreads I learn more about the behavior of the markdowns included in the
retail prices from the institutional prices. I find evidence that these yield premia depend on traditional features to explain
wholesale market liquidity premia.

We examine stock sales as a managerial incentive to help explain the discontinuity around the analyst forecast benchmark. We find that the likelihood of just meeting versus just missing the analyst forecast is strongly associated with subsequent managerial stock sales. Moreover, we provide evidence that managers manage earnings prior to just meeting the threshold and selling their shares. Finally, the relation between just meeting and subsequently selling shares does not hold for non-manager insiders, who arguably cannot affect the earnings outcome, and is weaker in the presence of an independent board, suggesting that good corporate governance mitigates this strategic behavior.

In this paper, we provide evidence that banks with a low level of capitalization have reduced their commitment with respect
to lines of credit after the introduction of the Basle Accord. A bank's lending behavior reflects its level of commitment
towards borrowers, which in turn affects the level of effort it exerts on screening and monitoring the activities of borrowers.
We find that the post-Basle Accord market reaction to the announcement of lines of credit issued by banks with a low level
of capitalization is significantly lower than the reaction to other types of bank credit announcements. We interpret this
result as evidence that some banks have a low level of commitment associated with lines of credit after the Basle Accord.

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.

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.

This study provides empirical evidence of the joint dynamics between stock returns and trading volume using stock data of
DAX companies. Contemporaneous as well as dynamic interactions are investigated for a period from January 1994 to December
2005 on a daily basis. Our results suggest that there is almost no relationship between stock return levels and trading volume
in either direction. We find that trading volume is contemporaneously positively related to return volatility. In addition,
we establish that lagged return volatility induces trading volume movements. Finally, we examine dependencies in the tails
and find no significant support for the hypothesis of the independence of the maximal values of absolute returns and trading
volume.

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.

We examine the valuation effects of overall demand for corporate equities combined with the influence of abnormal earnings
and unexpected funds flow. Our results indicate that the expected and unexpected net new total flow of funds into all stock
mutual funds do not by themselves have a meaningful effect on firm equity valuation. However, we find the combination of unexpected
funds flow and realized abnormal earnings have significant and important valuation effects. Importantly, the valuation impact
is greatest for those firms with high earnings growth potential that also operate in an environment characterized by high
information asymmetry.

This paper compares four scenarios of a model in which, for the possible presence of tippees, firm insiders may not be the
only persons having inside information. The four scenarios are that of free insider trading, that with a ban on insider trading,
that of observable insider trading, and that with full disclosure of information. Each of these scenarios is shown to be strictly
more efficient than the one before so long as there is a positive probability that a tippee exists. The paper sheds some light
on why and how insider trading should be regulated, and also on the role of the disclosure system in the overall scheme of
securities regulation.

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.

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.

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.
