Managerial Ownership, Information Content of Earnings, and Discretionary Accruals in a Non–US Setting

This study employs Danish data to examine the empirical relationship between the proportion of managerial ownership and two characteristics of accounting earnings: the information content of earnings and the magnitude of discretionary accruals. In previous research concerning American firms, Warfield et al. (1995) document a positive relationship between managerial ownership and the information content of earnings, and a negative relationship between managerial ownership and discretionary accruals. We question the generality of the Warfield et al. result, as the ownership structure found in most other countries, including Denmark, deviates from the US ownership configuration. In fact, Danish data indicate that the information content of earnings is inversely related to managerial ownership.     

Accounting for Option–based Compensation: The Economic Cost Approach

The intrinsic value approach amortizes over the life of the option, the difference between the stock price on the date of the grant and the exercise price of the option. The fair market value approach amortizes over the life of the option, the market value of stock options on the date of the grant. These approaches do not reflect the changes in the option–based compensation cost after the grant date. This paper proposes an economic cost approach that not only adjusts for the changes in the value of the options during its life but also records the issuance of the stock at fair market value on the exercise date.     

河北省林权制度演进的动因分析

河北省林权制度演进的动因主要包括国家意志的改变、农民需求的变化、人口数量的变化、森林资源稀缺程度的变化、要素和产品相对价格的变化等几个主要方面。以制度变迁理论、时间序列分析和供求理论对相应因素进行深入分析,结果显示:诸多动因相互作用推动了河北省林权制度的演进。因而,在制定林权政策时,要综合考虑各方面因素的影响以及相互之间的关系以期达到一个均衡状态。     

罗马法所有权及对我国所有权制度完善的影响

上市公司终极控制人两权分离度的决定因素分析——基于2004年上市公司经验数据研究

本文以2003-2004年我国上市公司的股权结构、资产状况、现金收入与发展前景等方面的数据,采用理论分析、描述性统计与多元回归假设检验等方法,分析了我国上市公司两权分离度的影响因素。结果发现:上市公司终极控制人两权分离度的大小主要取决于上市公司的企业规模、企业资产可控性、现金流状况、企业发展前景、第一大股东持股比例、终极控制人控制层级与股权性质。     

混合所有制改革是否促进企业创新？

本文利用中国工业企业微观数据,以新产品销售收入占销售总收入的比值来衡量创新效率,基于“拟自然实验”理论框架,并采用倾向得分匹配法（PSM）,研究国有企业混合所有制改革对企业创新效率的影响。研究结果显示：混合所有制改革能显著提升企业的创新效率。此外,与其他所有制企业相比较而言,国有企业混合所有制改革后的创新效率要高于外资企业、民营企业和港澳台企业。本文为评价国有企业混合所有制改革的创新绩效提供了微观层面的有力证据,也为推动国有企业混合所有制改革提供了一定的政策含义。     

会计信息质量与企业的商业信用融资——基于未解释审计费用度量的实证研究

商业信用的获取和供给受到企业间信息不对称的制约,而会计信息披露则有助于监督企业运营和缓解信息不对称。本文利用未解释审计费用衡量会计信息质量,探讨了中国上市企业的会计信息质量对商业信用获取和供给的影响效应,并分析此影响效应在不同企业性质、市场地位及政府干预下的差异性。实证研究表明,高质量的会计信息能直接促进企业获取商业信用,并通过外源融资间接增加商业信用的供给,此现象在国有企业中表现得尤为明显。同时,市场优势地位能够增强高质量会计信息的国有企业对商业信用的边际获取能力。此外,地方政府的干预也能改善高质量会计信息的国有企业对商业信用和外源融资的边际获取能力,但减弱了其对商业信用的边际供给能力。     

Process innovation capability and subsequent collaborative team performance in travel planning: a knowledge exchange platform perspective

Purpose: Backpacker tourism is flourishing in this century as the high development of Internet technology which enables travellers to search for resources they need easier. The research goal of this study was to exam how virtual skill and collective efficacy affect process innovation capability and subsequent team performance of collaborative design team in a virtual community. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, we formulated the virtual team model from the perspectives of open innovation paradigm and virtual competence, and we collected virtual community participation samples from the online communities. Invitation emails were delivered to numerous trip plan initiators in two well-known online travel communities for filling survey questionnaires for this study. In total, 3000 invitation messages were mailed, of which 373 were returned completed. The model and hypotheses were tested by structural equation modelling. Findings: Virtual competence, including collective efficacy and virtual media skill, is the essential key to facilitate process innovation capability and subsequent team performance success. Besides, knowledge sharing significantly moderates the relationship between process innovation capability and the team performance. Originality/value: Backpackers in the online travel communities have to have not only the willingness to collaborate, but also the abilities of using the correct tool to help with their tasks. When a self-efficacy gets into collective efficacy, it enables the collaborative team to develop with good virtual competencies. Accordingly, trip plan initiator and participants of a virtual team are as expertise contributors between conformity in online communities and online compulsive control tendencies.
