摘要：This study investigates whether investors incorporate the value of a firm's outstanding employee stock options into its stock price. I estimate the outstanding options' value for a sample of firms for which outstanding fixed options exceed 5% of outstanding common shares in 1988. I find a negative correlation between the value of outstanding options and a firm's share price. The correlation is stronger (i) for the option's intrinsic value than for the option's time value, (ii) for options that...

摘要：This study examines the association between stock returns and foreign GAAP earnings versus earnings adjusted to U.S. GAAP. Using a sample of foreign firms with common stock or American Depositary Receipt (ADR) traded in U.S. exchanges, we compare the returns-earnings relations between U.S. and foreign GAAP-based earnings. Results based on the J(A) test indicate that earnings based on foreign GAAP are more closely associated with contemporaneous stock returns than earnings reconciled to U.S. GA...

摘要：This paper examines the value relevance of fair value data disclosed under SFAS 107 by banks for 1992 and 1993. Collectively, the evidence suggests differences between fair and book values of financial instruments are associated with market-to-book ratios. However, fair value disclosures for financial instruments other than securities are value-relevant only in limited settings. In addition, only in 1992 are fair value variables associated with market-to-book ratios after incorporating existin...

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：Much management accounting research focuses on design of incentive compensation contracts. A basic assumption in these contracts is that performance-based incentives improve employee performance. This paper reports on a field test of the multi-period incentive effects of a performance-based compensation plan on the sales of a retail establishment. Analysis of panel data for 15 retail outlets over 66 months indicates a sales increase when the plan is implemented, an effect that persists and inc...

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...

摘要：Diversified corporations have been widely criticized as being inefficient innovators with an orientation to maximizing short-term profits. This study investigates this criticism by testing whether the number of new products introduced per R&D dollar is lower among more diversified firms. We find no statistically discernible effect of diversification on innovative efficiency in a sample of 706 research-intensive firms in the 1981-1988 period. This suggests that diversified organizations are rat...
