大股东与管理当局是利益协同还是代理冲突——基于我国上市公司会计稳健性的证据

从会计稳健性的角度出发,利用我国A股上市公司2002~2004年的数据进行研究后发现,大股东与管理当局之间的利益冲突在通过控制权市场、会计政策选择权等机制作用后,大股东与管理当局之间在会计稳健性方面出现利益协同的情况,大股东与管理当局在确认会计信息方面对会计稳健性产生相同的负面影响,表现为大股东与管理当局会削弱上市公司的会计稳健性,从而使大股东通过及时确认"好消息"以及滞后确认"坏消息"来掩盖对中小股东的"掏空"行为。研究还发现,与私有控制人相比,国有股东控制的上市公司的管理当局对会计稳健性的负面影响更为明显,这一结论部分地印证了La Porta等人关于上市公司代理问题主要存在于大股东与中小股东之间的论断。

Conflict or Cooperation between Larger Stockholders and Administrative Authority——Based on Accounting Conservatism Evidence of Chinese Listed Companies

Accounting information is one of the superseding variables of output,so both shareholders and managers always pay much attention to it.Based on accounting conservatism perspective,we find evidence that larger shareholder and managers have common interest alignments in corporate governance and our results support the claim that "good news" may be more timely reflected in accounting earnings than "bad news" because larger shareholder and manager have the same negative effects on accounting conservatism,and it may be that larger shareholders have an incentive to conceal the "tunneling" of listed companies.
