摘要:The empirical research examining the association between typical measures of corporate governance and various accounting and economic outcomes has not produced a consistent set of results. We believe that these mixed results are partially attributable to the difficulty in generating reliable and valid measures for the complex construct that is termed corporate governance. Using a sample of 2,106 firms and 39 structural measures of corporate governance (e.g., board characteristics, stock owners...

Yet, this finding may be due to a self-selection bias that occurs when firms with a larger amount of unfavorable non-earnings news (other bad news) are more likely to warn. In this paper I use a Heckman selection model to infer the amount of other bad news and document that, on averag...

Alternatively, outsourcing routine internal audit tasks is mor...
