This paper develops a unified framework to synthesize the growing stream of positive research on the role of individual decision makers in shaping observed accounting phenomena. This line of research recognizes two central ideas in behavioral economics. First, individual behavior depends not only on economic incentives and accessible information, but also on individual preferences, ability, experiences, and other characteristics. Second, the constraints that structure human interactions encompass both formal institutions (e.g., rules, laws, constitutions) and informal institutions (e.g., norms, conventions, rituals). Our review covers a broad set of individuals that are of interest in accounting research: managers, directors, audit partners, analysts, standard setters, politicians, judges, journalists, loan officers, financial advisors, and investors. We aim to understand the systematic effects of individual characteristics on a wide spectrum of accounting phenomena including financial reporting, disclosure, tax planning, auditing, and corporate social responsibility. We highlight the importance of personal characteristics not only for an individual’s own behavior, but also for others’ perceptions. Our review mainly focuses on archival research in accounting and provides some thoughts about opportunities for archival empiricists going forward. We also, when feasible, highlight opportunities for future field, survey, and experimental research. A central takeaway from our review is that individual-level factors significantly improve our ability to explain and predict accounting phenomena beyond firm-, industry-, and market-level factors.
本文开发了一个统一的框架来综合越来越多的关于个体决策者在塑造观察到的会计现象中的作用的积极研究。这条研究路线确认了行为经济学的两个中心思想。首先,个人行为不仅取决于经济激励和可获得的信息,还取决于个人的偏好、能力、经验和其他特征。第二,构成人类互动的约束既包括正式制度(如规则、法律、宪法),也包括非正式制度(如规范、惯例、仪式)。我们的评论涵盖了对会计研究感兴趣的广泛人群:经理、董事、审计合伙人、分析师、标准制定者、政治家、法官、记者、信贷员、财务顾问和投资者。我们的目标是了解个人特征对广泛的会计现象的系统影响,包括财务报告,披露,税务筹划,审计和企业社会责任。我们强调了个人特征的重要性,不仅对个人自身的行为,而且对他人的看法。本文主要对会计领域的档案研究进行了综述,并对档案经验主义者今后的发展提出了一些思考。在可行的情况下,我们还强调了未来实地调查和实验研究的机会。我们回顾的一个核心结论是,个人层面的因素显著提高了我们解释和预测超越公司、行业和市场层面因素的会计现象的能力。

Measuring and Calibrating the Racial/Ethnic Densities of Executives in US Public Companies 衡量和校准美国上市公司高管的种族/民族密度
Pub Date : 2021-08-11 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3797715

We measure and calibrate the racial and ethnic densities (RAEDs) of executives in US public companies. We find that calibrating executive RAEDs against an economic benchmark that captures the historical demand for and supply of top BA/BS qualified proto-executive talent yields different inferences about executive racial/ethnic under- and overrepresentation 58% of the time as compared to calibrating against the US population. For example, Blacks and Hispanics are overrepresented and Whites underrepresented in S&P 500® executives when calibrated against the historical RAEDS of top BA/BS qualified proto-executive talent matched to executive age. We also find that the magnitudes of the underrepresentations for Blacks and Hispanics and the overrepresentation for Whites are 10X+ smaller using our economic benchmark. This suggests that 90+% of the underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic executives comes from factors that are in play before companies hire their proto-executive talent versus 10% or less coming from actions that companies take at or after they hire their proto-executive talent.
我们衡量并校准美国上市公司高管的种族和民族密度(RAEDs)。我们发现,将高管rads与经济基准(捕捉顶级BA/BS合格的原始高管人才的历史需求和供应)进行校准,与针对美国人口进行校准相比,在58%的情况下,会得出高管种族/族裔代表性不足和过高的不同推论。例如,当与与高管年龄相匹配的顶级BA/BS合格原始高管人才的历史rads进行校准时,标准普尔500®高管中黑人和西班牙裔的比例过高,而白人的比例偏低。我们还发现,使用我们的经济基准,黑人和西班牙裔的代表性不足和白人的代表性过剩的程度要小10倍以上。这表明,90%以上的黑人和西班牙裔高管比例偏低的原因是公司在聘用他们的模范高管人才之前就存在的因素,而10%或更少的原因是公司在聘用他们的模范高管人才时或之后采取的行动。

Gender Salary Gap in the Auditing Profession: Trend and Explanations 审计职业性别薪酬差距:趋势与解释
Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3876150

This paper documents the auditing profession’s gender salary gap in a setting where the overall society consists of a high degree of gender equality. Using Swedish administrative data from 2007 to 2015 for all CPAs, I find that the auditing profession’s overall gender salary gap has substantially declined: the gap in 2015 is less than half the size of the 2007 gap. More female auditors have moved up to the top earnings group during this period, demonstrating an evident lessening of the glass ceiling phenomenon. Oaxaca-Blinder analysis shows that auditor’s clientele size is the most important factor in explaining the salary gap, and the increase in female auditors’ clientele size during this period accounts for half of the decrease in the total salary gap. Further, I also find evidence that the rise of female leadership in Big Six firms is positively associated with the increase in female auditors’ clientele size. Consistent with Kunze and Miller (2017), such ‘women help women’ effect in the auditing environment is more pronounced in the middle and lower half of the firm hierarchy, suggesting that female representation at the top of the firm has spillover benefits for lower-ranked female auditors. The implications of this study may help audit firms close their gender gap and better cope with the overall auditing industry’s talent challenges.
本文研究了在社会性别高度平等的背景下,审计职业的性别薪酬差距。利用瑞典2007年至2015年所有注册会计师的行政数据,我发现审计行业的整体性别工资差距大幅下降:2015年的差距不到2007年差距的一半。在此期间,有更多的女性审计师晋升至最高收入群体,表明玻璃天花板现象明显减少。Oaxaca-Blinder分析表明,审计师的客户规模是解释薪酬差距的最重要因素,在此期间,女性审计师客户规模的增加占总薪酬差距减少的一半。此外,我还发现有证据表明,六大会计师事务所中女性领导层的崛起与女性审计师客户规模的增加呈正相关。与Kunze和Miller(2017)一致,审计环境中的“女性帮助女性”效应在公司层级的中下层更为明显,这表明公司高层的女性代表对较低级别的女性审计师具有溢出效益。本研究的启示可能有助于审计公司缩小性别差距,更好地应对整个审计行业的人才挑战。

The Impact of CFO Gender on Corporate Overinvestment CFO性别对企业过度投资的影响
Pub Date : 2020-04-28 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3877746
Yin Liu, Pam Neely, K. Karim
In this study, we examine the association between CFO gender and corporate investment efficiency, namely the extent of firm-level over-investments. Prior studies show that female CFOs are more risk-averse and conservative than male CFOs when making various corporate accounting and strategic decisions. Consistent with this prediction, we find that the presence of a female CFO is significantly associated with a decreased level of corporate over-investments. Robustness checks of using alternative investment measures and a propensity-score matched sample provide consistent support to this main finding. Overall, we find empirical evidence that indicates firms with female CFOs have an improved corporate investment efficiency by decreased levels of over-investment.
在本研究中,我们考察了首席财务官性别与企业投资效率之间的关系,即企业层面的过度投资程度。先前的研究表明,女性首席财务官在做出各种企业会计和战略决策时,比男性首席财务官更倾向于风险厌恶和保守。与这一预测一致,我们发现女性CFO的存在与企业过度投资水平的降低显著相关。使用替代投资措施和倾向得分匹配样本的稳健性检查为这一主要发现提供了一致的支持。总体而言,我们发现经验证据表明,女性首席财务官的企业通过降低过度投资水平来提高企业投资效率。

Penalties for Unexpected Behavior: Double Standards for Women in Finance 对意外行为的处罚:金融业女性的双重标准
Pub Date : 2020-03-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3295963
R. Bloomfield, Kristina Rennekamp, Blake A. Steenhoven, Scott Stewart
We present 179 investment professionals with a scenario that manipulates whether a male or female analyst persists in pitching a stock pick after it has been voted down. Respondents evaluate analysts as less promotable when they do not persist, but only if the analyst is female. Results are consistent with categorization theory, which suggests that evaluators rely on stereotypes to interpret unexpected behaviors. In male-dominated settings, the same unexpected behavior may be perceived as evidence of a “lack of fit” in evaluations of women, but nondiagnostic in evaluations of men. Analysis of free-response questions confirm that the unexpected behavior was a predominant focus in performance evaluations of women, but not for men. Semi-structured interviews with 13 senior investment professionals provide additional support for the role of expectations and categorization heuristics on promotion decisions. Our findings shed light on factors that may contribute to the investment industry's “leaky pipeline” for women. JEL Classifications: M40; M41; M49; M51. Data Availability: Contact the authors.
我们向179名投资专业人士展示了一个场景,操纵一名男性或女性分析师在被否决后是否坚持推销某只股票。受访者认为,如果分析师不坚持,那么他们的晋升机会就会降低,但前提是分析师是女性。结果与分类理论一致,即评价者依赖刻板印象来解释意外行为。在男性主导的环境中,同样的意外行为可能被认为是对女性“不适合”的评估,但在对男性的评估中则不是诊断性的。对自由回答问题的分析证实,意外行为是女性绩效评估的主要焦点,而不是男性。对13位资深投资专业人士的半结构化访谈为期望和分类启发式在晋升决策中的作用提供了额外的支持。我们的研究结果揭示了可能导致投资行业对女性“管道泄漏”的因素。JEL分类:M40;M41;M49;M51。数据可用性:联系作者。

Public Sector Accounting System - A Conceptual Analysis 公共部门会计制度-概念分析
Pub Date : 2019-12-31 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3510716
A. N., D. M. S.
Public sector accounting is the system of accounting that involves recording and maintenance of books of accounts by the government authorities on their financial performance. There are three categories of organisations normally working in any environment: public, private and non-profit concerns. Each of these organisations is working on a different motive, for instance, private sector organisations run for making more profit for their long-existence, public organisations or governments work for socioeconomic sustainable development of the country, whereas NGOs are for rendering the services to the society at large. If this is the reality, it is clear that the financial transactions of each of these organisations are different from each other. So it is not possible to record their transactions as per single accounting standard. Hence, it is necessary to have different accounting standards applicable to these organisations individually. Government accounts must be available to the public in a transparent manner. To ensure this, it is necessary to have standards which are applicable to the public sector to account for their financial transactions. The present paper is intended to analyse the public sector accounting system at the global level and in the Indian context.
公共部门会计是一种会计制度,涉及政府当局对其财务业绩的记录和维护。通常在任何环境中工作的组织有三类:公共、私人和非营利组织。这些组织的工作动机各不相同,例如,私营部门组织的目的是为了长期存在而获得更多的利润,公共组织或政府的目的是为了国家社会经济的可持续发展,而非政府组织的目的是为整个社会提供服务。如果这是事实,很明显,这些组织的财务交易彼此不同。因此,不可能按照单一的会计准则记录他们的交易。因此,有必要制定适用于这些组织的不同会计准则。政府帐目必须以透明的方式提供给公众。为确保这一点,有必要制定适用于公共部门的标准,以说明其金融交易。本文件旨在分析全球一级和印度情况下的公共部门会计制度。

Group Recruiting Events and Gender Stereotypes in Employee Selection 群体招聘事件与员工选择中的性别刻板印象
Pub Date : 2019-12-16 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3275631
Kirsten Fanning, Jeffrey O. Williams, Michael G. Williamson
This paper reports the results of three studies that together provide converging evidence in support of theory that gender stereotypes bias employee selection during group recruiting events. Specifically, we find that female (male) job candidates who tend to exhibit stereotypically male personality traits or behaviors receive lower (higher) evaluations during group recruiting events. Prior research suggests gender stereotypes do not bias employee selection during one-on-one interviews. However, our results suggest that evaluating job candidates in the more social context of group recruiting events can have important unintended consequences on employee selection, a key component of the accounting control environment. Given the importance of on-campus group recruiting events to inform hiring decisions across organizations such as investment banks and public accounting firms, our results contribute to a better understanding of survey and field evidence suggesting that entry-level male and female employees have different personalities at these organizations which appear to influence their career trajectories.
本文报告了三项研究的结果,它们共同提供了趋同的证据,支持性别刻板印象在群体招聘活动中影响员工选择的理论。具体来说,我们发现倾向于表现出刻板男性人格特征或行为的女性(男性)求职者在群体招聘活动中获得的评价较低(较高)。先前的研究表明,在一对一的面试中,性别刻板印象不会影响员工的选择。然而,我们的研究结果表明,在群体招聘活动的社会背景下评估求职者可能会对员工选择产生重要的意想不到的影响,而员工选择是会计控制环境的关键组成部分。考虑到校园集体招聘活动对投资银行和会计师事务所等组织的招聘决策的重要性,我们的研究结果有助于更好地理解调查和现场证据,这些调查和现场证据表明,在这些组织中,入门级男性和女性员工具有不同的性格,这似乎会影响他们的职业轨迹。

Board Gender Diversity and Firm Performance: Evidence from Supply-Side Shocks in China 董事会性别多样性与公司绩效:来自中国供给侧冲击的证据
Pub Date : 2019-11-04 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3474413
Yangming Bao, Di Lu
This paper identifies a positive causal effect of board gender diversity on firm performance by utilizing unique historical events in China. Specifically, the Famine resulted in an evident gender gap in the supply of qualified directors of certain cohorts. Since the shocks differ in both gender and cohorts, we construct a novel "Diff-in-Diff'" instrumental variable and a Bartik instrument for board gender representation. We find that a 10% increase in board female representation can lead to a 2.38% increase in return on assets (ROA). Moreover, our results support the critical mass theory and indicate that female directors are beneficial by lowering risk levels and improving solvency.
本文利用中国独特的历史事件,确定了董事会性别多样性对公司绩效的正向因果效应。具体来说,饥荒导致在某些组别合格董事的供应方面存在明显的性别差距。由于冲击在性别和群体上都是不同的,我们构建了一个新颖的“Diff-in-Diff”工具变量和一个Bartik工具来衡量董事会性别代表性。我们发现,董事会女性比例每增加10%,资产回报率(ROA)就会增加2.38%。此外,我们的研究结果支持临界质量理论,并表明女性董事在降低风险水平和提高偿付能力方面是有益的。

We find that a 10% increase in board female representation can lead to a 2.38% increase in return on assets (ROA). Moreover, our results support the critical mass theory and indicate that female directors are beneficial by lowering risk levels and improving solvency.","PeriodicalId":84919,"journal":{"name":"International demographics","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81137600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accounting is the science of communicating the financial information of the business organization in an organized manner. Before communicating the business information it is necessary to record the actual business results in a scientific manner so as to ensure the true and fair view of the transactions. Financial information disclosed with true and fair state will get absolute confidence from various stakeholders. India is also one of the countries which is recognized at the global level by initiating IFRS based accounting standards from the year 2016 onwards by the government of India with the help of MCA and ICAI and started to mandate these standards for Indian companies in a phased manner. The implementation of this IFRS based Indian Accounting standards i.e. IND AS had created a great opportunity to academicians, regulatory authorities and business houses to carry the research for the advancement of the financial reporting system in India. So the present study is intended to analyze the role of IND AS in harmonizing accounting standards in the Indian scenario.
会计是一门有组织地传达企业财务信息的科学。在进行商业信息的沟通之前,必须科学地记录实际的商业结果,以保证交易的真实、公正。以真实、公正的状态披露的财务信息将获得各利益相关者的绝对信任。印度也是在全球范围内得到认可的国家之一,印度政府在MCA和ICAI的帮助下,从2016年起启动了基于IFRS的会计准则,并开始分阶段为印度公司强制执行这些标准。基于IFRS的印度会计准则(即IND AS)的实施为学者、监管机构和商业机构提供了一个很好的机会,可以为印度财务报告系统的进步进行研究。因此,本研究旨在分析新会计准则在协调印度情况下的会计准则方面的作用。
