We provide evidence from the first short-window event study of consumers’ perceptual responses to earnings announcements using daily consumer perception data. We document a positive association between the change in consumers’ overall perceptions of a brand at the time of the earnings announcement and the earnings surprise—that is, a positive consumer earnings response coefficient (CERC). CERC is larger when there is greater traditional news or social media activity, indicating that news dissemination is an important channel for consumers to respond to earnings news. Moreover, CERC varies based on brand and consumer characteristics. Changes in consumer perceptions at the time of the earnings announcement are positively associated with changes in purchase consideration and intent and with changes in realized future sales growth. To maximize identification, we document a positive and statistically significant CERC in a controlled experiment. Our findings demonstrate the importance of earnings to an important stakeholder.

我们利用每日消费者感知数据,首次对消费者对盈利公告的感知反应进行了短窗口事件研究,并提供了相关证据。我们记录了财报公布时消费者对某一品牌的整体认知变化与财报惊喜之间的正相关,即消费者财报反应正系数(CERC)。当传统新闻或社交媒体活动较多时,CERC 会更大,这表明新闻传播是消费者对盈利新闻做出反应的一个重要渠道。此外,CERC 因品牌和消费者特征而异。财报公布时消费者看法的变化与购买考虑和购买意向的变化以及实现的未来销售增长的变化呈正相关。为了最大限度地提高识别度,我们在一个受控实验中记录了正向且具有统计意义的 CERC。我们的研究结果证明了盈利对重要利益相关者的重要性。数据可用性:数据可从文中引用的来源获得。JEL 分类:M31; M41; G14.

Powerful Politicians, Political Costs, and Income Smoothing 强势政客、政治成本和收入平滑
Pub Date : 2023-12-01 DOI: 10.2308/tar-2017-0481

This paper investigates whether and how firms receiving benefits through their connections to politicians use accounting discretion to mitigate the costs associated with negative publicity. I utilize a unique setting that captures the change in political costs arising from chairmanship appointments to influential U.S. Senate committees. Firms in the home state of a promoted officeholder often receive preferential treatment, drawing public scrutiny and incentivizing them to avoid reporting extreme earnings through income smoothing to reduce adverse political attention. Employing a difference-in-differences research design, I find evidence that home-state firms smooth their earnings throughout the officeholder’s tenure following a senator’s promotion to chairman or ranking minority member. Cross-sectional analyses demonstrate that these effects are stronger for firms anticipating higher political costs. Overall, this paper provides evidence of the political cost hypothesis, highlighting the role of political connections in shaping firms’ financial reporting strategies.

本文调查了通过与政客的关系获得利益的公司是否以及如何使用会计自由裁量权来减轻与负面宣传相关的成本。我利用了一个独特的背景,捕捉了因任命有影响力的美国参议院委员会主席而产生的政治成本变化。被提拔的官员所在州的公司通常会得到优惠待遇,吸引公众监督,并鼓励他们避免报告极端收入,通过收入平滑来减少不利的政治关注。采用差异中的差异研究设计,我发现有证据表明,在参议员晋升为主席或少数党高级成员后,在公职人员任职期间,本土国有企业的收入会趋于平稳。横断面分析表明,这些影响对预期更高政治成本的公司更强。总体而言,本文提供了政治成本假说的证据,强调了政治关系在塑造公司财务报告策略中的作用。数据可用性:数据可从文本中引用的公共来源获得。JEL分类:M40;M41;H57。

Operating Leverage and Stock Returns under Different Aggregate Funding Conditions 不同资金总量条件下的运营杠杆和股票回报率
Pub Date : 2023-12-01 DOI: 10.2308/tar-2022-0051
Luis García‐Feijóo, Tyler K. Jensen, Paul D. Koch
We document time-varying interrelations between aggregate funding conditions and the impact of operating leverage (OL) on stock returns. OL represents a primitive source of risk, which helps explain the well established unconditional relation between OL and future returns. However, the outperformance of firms with high OL occurs exclusively during periods of unconstrained funding. Although high OL represents operational inflexibility, when the Fed eases funding constraints, improved capital availability mitigates this inflexibility. Consequently, investors bid up the prices of stocks with high OL when aggregate funding constraints are loosened to reflect their lower risk and greater expected performance in unconstrained periods. Data Availability: Data are available from the public sources cited in the text. JEL Classifications: E22; E44; E52; G11; G12; G14.
我们记录了总体融资条件与经营杠杆(OL)对股票回报影响之间的时变相互关系。OL 代表了一种原始的风险来源,这有助于解释 OL 与未来回报之间公认的无条件关系。然而,高 OL 公司的超额收益只出现在资金不受限制的时期。虽然高 OL 代表着经营缺乏灵活性,但当美联储放松融资限制时,资本供应的改善会缓解这种缺乏灵活性的情况。因此,当总体资金限制放松时,投资者会抬高 OL 高的股票价格,以反映其在无限制时期的低风险和更高的预期业绩。数据可用性:数据来源于文中引用的公开资料。JEL 分类:E22;E44;E52;G11;G12;G14。

Board Gender Diversity and Investment Efficiency: Global Evidence from 83 Country-Level Interventions 董事会性别多样性与投资效率:来自 83 个国家级干预措施的全球证据
Pub Date : 2023-12-01 DOI: 10.2308/tar-2022-0251

We investigate the effect of board gender diversity (BGD) on investment outcomes. We identify variation in BGD by compiling, for the first time, a global catalog of 83 BGD interventions implemented in 59 countries between 1999 and 2021. Using a staggered difference-in-differences research design, we document that BGD interventions improve investment outcomes. We find that treated firms reduce inefficient investment by 0.6 percent of total assets or 6.5 percent of total investment and are 4 percentage points more likely to have above-median investment efficiency. Cross-sectional tests reveal more pronounced results when BGD interventions are mandatory, are strongly enforced, and result in larger BGD increases. Event-time, stacked panel, and a wide variety of endogeneity-mitigating robustness tests corroborate. Our plausibly causal inferences have important implications for both research and practice.

我们研究了董事会性别多元化(BGD)对投资结果的影响。我们首次汇编了 1999 年至 2021 年间在 59 个国家实施的 83 项 BGD 干预措施的全球目录,从而确定了 BGD 的差异。利用交错差分研究设计,我们记录了 BGD 干预措施改善了投资结果。我们发现,接受干预的企业减少了总资产的 0.6% 或总投资的 6.5%,投资效率高于中位数的可能性提高了 4 个百分点。横截面测试表明,当 BGD 干预措施具有强制性、执行力度大且导致 BGD 增加幅度较大时,结果更为明显。事件-时间、堆叠面板和各种消除内生性的稳健性检验都证实了这一点。我们可信的因果推论对研究和实践都有重要意义。JEL 分类:F52; G34; G38F52;G34;G38;K22;M41;K38。

Corporate Political Activism and Information Transfers 企业政治行动主义与信息传递
Pub Date : 2023-11-01 DOI: 10.2308/tar-2021-0254
Dane M. Christensen, Hengda Jin, Joshua A. Lee, Suhas A. Sridharan, Laura A. Wellman
ABSTRACT Prior research suggests that (1) politically active firms have an information advantage over firms that do not engage in the political process but also that (2) politically active firms are more likely to disclose policy-related information. We examine whether there are externalities associated with the processing of political information by politically active firms. We study this question in the setting of intraindustry information transfers around earnings announcements. Measuring firms’ political activism using campaign contributions, we find stronger intraindustry information transfers from politically active firms to their industry peers. These information transfers are stronger when there is more discussion during conference calls of political topics that have industry- or market-wide implications. Similarly, these information transfers are also stronger when there is greater political uncertainty. Our paper highlights an important information externality related to politically active firms’ disclosures and improves our understanding of how politically active firms affect their industries’ information environment. Data Availability: The data used in this study are publicly available from the sources cited in the text. JEL Classifications: D72; M41; M48.
先前的研究表明:(1)政治活跃的公司比不参与政治过程的公司具有信息优势;(2)政治活跃的公司更有可能披露与政策相关的信息。我们研究是否有外部性与政治上活跃的公司处理政治信息有关。我们在围绕盈余公告的行业内信息传递的背景下研究这个问题。使用竞选捐款来衡量企业的政治活动,我们发现从政治活跃的企业到其行业同行的行业内信息转移更强。当电话会议中讨论更多具有行业或市场范围影响的政治话题时,这些信息传递会更强。同样,当政治不确定性较大时,这些信息传递也会更强。我们的论文强调了与政治活跃公司披露相关的重要信息外部性,并提高了我们对政治活跃公司如何影响其行业信息环境的理解。数据可用性:本研究中使用的数据可从文本中引用的来源公开获得。JEL分类:D72;M41;M48。

ABSTRACT Research indicates that auditors have an impoverished understanding of trial preparation factors that, independent of audit quality, can significantly elevate audit litigation risk. As the scholarly literature sheds little insight about the nature and implications of these factors, we identify what factors audit litigators consider in trial preparation, how they expect these factors to affect litigation outcomes, and how they attempt to leverage these factors. To do so, we interview 39 audit litigators, who identify factors germane to trial venues, jury pools, and case arguments. Guided by the elaboration likelihood model, we construct a framework that predicts these factors influence litigation outcomes by changing jurors’ motivation and/or capability to elaborate. Importantly, we find that litigators who defend (sue) auditors strategically maneuver these factors to increase (decrease) the likelihood of higher juror elaboration, because higher elaboration is favorable to auditors. We discuss implications of our results for practice and research. JEL Classifications: K22; K40; K41; M4; M41; M42.
研究表明,审计人员对审前准备因素的认识不足,而审前准备因素与审计质量无关,会显著提高审计诉讼风险。由于学术文献对这些因素的性质和影响知之甚少,我们确定了审计诉讼律师在审判准备中考虑的因素,他们如何期望这些因素影响诉讼结果,以及他们如何试图利用这些因素。为此,我们采访了39名审计诉讼律师,他们确定了与审判地点、陪审团和案件辩论相关的因素。在阐述可能性模型的指导下,我们构建了一个框架来预测这些因素通过改变陪审员的动机和/或阐述能力来影响诉讼结果。重要的是,我们发现为审计师辩护(起诉)的诉讼律师策略性地操纵这些因素,以增加(减少)陪审员更详细阐述的可能性,因为更详细阐述对审计师有利。我们讨论了我们的结果对实践和研究的意义。JEL分类:K22;K40;K41;M4;M41;M42。

Do Audit Committees and Auditors Coordinate Effort? Evidence from Risk Areas, Materiality and Meetings 审计委员会和审计师会协调工作吗?来自风险领域、重要性和会议的证据
Pub Date : 2023-11-01 DOI: 10.2308/tar-2020-0441

We provide evidence on effort coordination and information sharing between audit committees and external auditors. We use four effort measures: the risk areas reported by both the auditor and committee, auditor-reported materiality, and committee meetings. We find that the number of risks reported by the auditor (committee) is positively related to the number of risks reported by the committee (auditor) and that lower materiality is associated with more risks that the committee discloses. The evidence also suggests that although risk areas are “sticky,” the committee identifies new risks faster, whereas the auditor focuses on shared risks. Next, our analysis indicates that audit process standardization influences reporting quality in a nonlinear manner. Finally, although audit fees tend to rise with auditor effort, they are unrelated to the committee’s effort. Our findings endorse the service perspective on auditing by emphasizing the collaborative nature of the audit process over individual actors’ self-interests. Data Availability: Data are available from public sources cited in the text. JEL Classifications: M41; M42; G38.
我们提供了审计委员会与外部审计师之间工作协调和信息共享的证据。我们使用了四种衡量方法:审计师和委员会共同报告的风险领域、审计师报告的重要性以及委员会会议。我们发现,审计师(委员会)报告的风险数量与委员会(审计师)报告的风险数量呈正相关,重要性越低,委员会披露的风险越多。证据还表明,尽管风险领域具有 "粘性",但委员会识别新风险的速度更快,而审计师则专注于共有风险。接下来,我们的分析表明,审计流程标准化对报告质量的影响是非线性的。最后,尽管审计费用往往会随着审计师工作的增加而增加,但它们与委员会的工作无关。我们的研究结果强调了审计流程的合作性质,而非单个参与者的自身利益,从而认可了审计的服务视角。 数据可用性:数据来源于文中引用的公开资料。 JEL 分类:M41; M42; G38.

The Decision-Usefulness of ASC 606 Revenue Disaggregation ASC 606 收入分解的决策实用性
Pub Date : 2023-11-01 DOI: 10.2308/tar-2022-0078
Lisa A. Hinson, Gabriel P. Pündrich, Mark Zakota
The disclosure requirements of ASC 606 significantly expanded the volume and granularity of revenue information. However, because of the significant judgment associated with the standard, it is unclear whether the new disclosures increased the decision-usefulness of financial reports. To shed light on this question, we investigate the revenue disaggregation requirements of ASC 606. These requirements had significant disclosure consequences, illustrated by an over two-fold increase in the median number of revenue items in disaggregating firms’ reports. Consistent with enhanced decision-usefulness, we find higher (lower) analyst sales forecast accuracy (dispersion) for disaggregating firms. These benefits are primarily present when disaggregation is accompanied by detailed qualitative disclosures, when disaggregated revenues are comparable, and when the granularity of segment information is low. Our study contributes to research evaluating ASC 606 and offers valuable insights to standard-setters currently considering broader disaggregation of income statement items (Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 2022). Data Availability: Data are available from the sources identified in the paper. JEL Classifications: G24; G30; G34.
美国会计准则第 606 号》的披露要求大大增加了收入信息的数量和粒度。然而,由于该准则涉及大量判断,新披露是否提高了财务报告的决策实用性尚不清楚。为了弄清这个问题,我们对《会计准则》第 606 条的收入分类要求进行了调查。这些要求对披露产生了重大影响,具体表现为分类公司报告中收入项目的中位数增加了两倍多。与决策有用性的提高相一致,我们发现分类公司的分析师销售预测准确性(分散性)更高(更低)。这些益处主要体现在以下情况中:分解报告伴随着详细的定性披露;分解收入具有可比性;分部信息的粒度较低。我们的研究为评估 ASC 606 的研究做出了贡献,并为目前正在考虑对损益表项目进行更广泛分解的准则制定者(美国财务会计准则委员会 (FASB) 2022 年)提供了有价值的见解。 数据可用性:数据可从本文确定的来源获得。 JEL 分类:G24; G30; G34。

However, because of the significant judgment associated with the standard, it is unclear whether the new disclosures increased the decision-usefulness of financial reports. To shed light on this question, we investigate the revenue disaggregation requirements of ASC 606. These requirements had significant disclosure consequences, illustrated by an over two-fold increase in the median number of revenue items in disaggregating firms’ reports. Consistent with enhanced decision-usefulness, we find higher (lower) analyst sales forecast accuracy (dispersion) for disaggregating firms. These benefits are primarily present when disaggregation is accompanied by detailed qualitative disclosures, when disaggregated revenues are comparable, and when the granularity of segment information is low. Our study contributes to research evaluating ASC 606 and offers valuable insights to standard-setters currently considering broader disaggregation of income statement items (Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) 2022).

This study offers solutions to help address practical issues researchers generally overlook when assessing gains from a trading signal. Specifically, the methodologies used in previous research generally ignore investor risk aversion when forming portfolios, do not update portfolios as signals arrive, exploit look-ahead biases, do not assess the incremental gains of a new signal, and do not consider market frictions. We examine trading signals based on post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD), the earnings announcement premium (EAP), and earnings announcement rescheduling (RES). Using our proposed approach, we find that portfolios that incorporate the individual signals produce higher Sharpe ratios than equal-weighted portfolios; however, the gains for each signal are concentrated to a few days around the announcement. The EAP and RES signals do not provide incremental portfolio gains over the PEAD signal. After considering market frictions, portfolio performance rapidly attenuates and becomes similar to the SPY ETF as the portfolio size increases. JEL Classifications: G12; G14; G17.
本研究提供的解决方案有助于解决研究人员在评估交易信号收益时普遍忽视的实际问题。具体来说,以往研究中使用的方法一般会忽略投资者在形成投资组合时的风险规避,不会在信号到来时更新投资组合,利用前瞻性偏差,不会评估新信号的增量收益,也不会考虑市场摩擦。我们研究了基于盈利公布后漂移(PEAD)、盈利公布溢价(EAP)和盈利公布重新安排(RES)的交易信号。使用我们提出的方法,我们发现,与等权重投资组合相比,包含单个信号的投资组合能产生更高的夏普比率;但是,每个信号的收益都集中在公告前后的几天内。与 PEAD 信号相比,EAP 和 RES 信号并没有带来增量投资组合收益。考虑市场摩擦因素后,随着投资组合规模的增加,投资组合的表现迅速减弱,变得与 SPY ETF 相似。 JEL 分类:G12; G14; G17G12;G14;G17。
