摘要：This study examines the effectiveness of alternative training techniques for improving analytical procedures performance. Given that analytical procedures. involve multiple cognitive processes whereby deficiencies in one cognitive process are not remedied by another process, we design training interventions at multiple stages of an analytical procedures task. The study included seven training levels: no training (baseline group), outcome feedback, worked-out example, problem solving, self-expl...

摘要：Recent studies in the accounting literature provide evidence of an equity price premium whenever firms meet or exceed analysts' earnings forecasts. That is, the market perceives the act of meeting earnings forecasts as a signal about future firm performance. Financial analysts typically issue revenue forecasts in addition to earnings forecasts. In this study, we examine whether meeting or exceeding revenue forecasts serves as an additional signal to the market in pricing earnings performance. ...

摘要：Managers often make judgements about cost-driver and profit-driver relations using subjective analysis rather than statistical analysis of accounting data. We provide theory-consistent experimental evidence that, even when the strength and temporal contiguity of the relation between financial performance and its driver are held constant, the prediction task is relatively simple, and individuals have relevant training and experience, participants' differing mental representations of the cost-dr...

摘要：We assess whether a firm's research and development (R&D) expenditures, as well as uncertainty metrics that underlie their ultimate conversion into value, can significantly enhance the relevance of a valuation model based solely on traditional financial reporting variables and improve equity value predictions. We focus on the biotech industry during the 1998-2004 period and classify firms into emerging and mature categories to reflect their commercial maturity. The 1998-2004 period also compri...

摘要：Performance measurement systems often incorporate cause-and-effect theories in business models, while the literature questions accountants' and managers' ability to use and understand the very business models that they value. We address this question: Does articulation of a business model as a cause-and-effect theory enhance an accountant's evaluation of benchmark data that requires implicit cause-and-effect covariation assessments? We prompt (or do not prompt) accountants with a causal busine...

摘要：Disclosures about research and development (R&D) activities could potentially help market participants understand the future prospects of R&D-intensive firms, but at the same-time could be costly to make if the disclosure is related to proprietary information. I examine R&D-related disclosures made by R&D-intensive firms in their annual reports, as well as those made throughout the year to financial analysts. I find that the level of R&D-related voluntary disclosure is higher when proprietary ...

摘要：Cause-and-effect relations among performance measures are alleged to be distinguishing features of performance measurement models (PMMs), such as balanced scorecards. This study reports the evolution of the study of a PMM that was developed by a large U.S.-based, company for its closely linked distribution channel. Motivated by the literature on PMM and causality, we report an analysis of linked performance measures for 31 quarters (19972005) and 31 business units. We find minimal statistical ...
