摘要：This paper analyzes security returns of bank holding companies and insurance companies during periods surrounding the adoption of SFAS 115. We find bank share prices were negatively affected by the examined events, but find little share price reaction for insurance companies. Our evidence suggests banks were adversely affected by the standard because of problems with the standard's marker value accounting approach. Cross-sectional analysis of event period returns shows that banks that more fre...

摘要：We examine the value-relevance to investors of financial (accounting) and nonfinancial information of independent cellular companies and find that, on a stand-alone basis, financial information (earnings, book values, and cash flows) are largely irrelevant for security valuation. Nonfinancial indicators, such as POPS (a growth proxy) and Market Penetration (an operating performance measure), are highly value-relevant. However, combined with nonfinancial information, earnings do contribute to t...

摘要：This paper examines if the stock market prices discretionary accruals. Evidence reveals that, on average, the market attaches value to discretionary accruals. This evidence is consistent with two alternative Scenarios: (1) managerial discretion improves the ability of earnings to reflect economic value, and (2) discretionary accruals are opportunistic and value-irrelevant but priced by an inefficient market. Further evidence is consistent with the former explanation. There is evidence of perva...

摘要：The papers by Subramanyam (1996) and Kasanen, Kinnunen, and Niskanen (KKN, 1996) both consider why managers manipulate accounting accruals. Subramanyam finds that discretionary accruals are associated with several performance measures, and concludes that managers' accrual choices increase the informativeness of accounting earnings. However, a strong competing alternative is that the 'Jones model' systematically mismeasures discretionary accruals, so that they contain a significant nondiscretio...

摘要：Amir and Lev (1996) address two interesting issues: the value-relevance of reported financial information for fast-changing, science-based companies and the value-relevance of nonfinancial information incremental to financial information. Using a sample of cellular phone companies, they report that the financial accounting information is only value-relevant after the inclusion of the nonfinancial information and that the nonfinancial information they examine is value-relevant both by itself an...
