Due to agency problems, firms use management control systems to motivate employees to act in the firms’ interest. This process includes motivating employees to increase effort as well as aligning risk preferences. Whereas Bonner and Sprinkle (2002) review and discuss research findings regarding the effects of monetary incentives on effort and performance, we approach the latter component, i.e., risk. The purpose of this literature review is to systematically present and review research findings regarding the effects of monetary incentives on risk-taking. We thus distinguish between individual performance-based pay, equity-based pay and tournament compensation. Further, implications for incentive system design in practice as well as paths for future research are discussed. On the one hand, we provide suggestions on how to increase employee risk-taking and reduce loss-aversive behavior. On the other hand, we discuss instruments that prevent employees from taking high (excessive) risks. Ultimately, when designing incentive systems, it is always crucial to consider the potential effects on both effort and risk-taking.
由于代理问题,企业使用管理控制系统来激励员工为企业的利益而行动。这个过程包括激励员工增加努力以及调整风险偏好。尽管Bonner和Sprinkle(2002)回顾并讨论了关于金钱激励对努力和绩效影响的研究结果,但我们研究的是后一个组成部分,即风险。本文献综述的目的是系统地介绍和回顾有关货币激励对风险承担的影响的研究结果。因此,我们区分了基于个人绩效的薪酬、基于股权的薪酬和锦标赛薪酬。在此基础上,讨论了激励制度设计在实践中的启示和未来研究的路径。一方面,我们提出了如何提高员工的冒险精神,减少损失厌恶行为的建议。另一方面,我们讨论了防止员工承担高风险(过度)风险的工具。最后,在设计激励制度时,考虑对努力和冒险的潜在影响总是至关重要的。

The Real Effects of Trend-Seeking and Extrapolation: Evidence from M&As 趋势寻找与外推的真实效应:来自并购的证据
Pub Date : 2020-12-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2996714

We study earnings surprises disclosed hours before M&A announcements in which both merging firms operate in the same 1-digit SIC as the earnings-releasing firms. These surprises correlate with the acquirers’ M&A announcement return. Consistent with behavioral theory, one week after the M&A announcement, acquirers’ response to the earnings surprises disappears. While acquirers’ stock misvaluation is transitory, other effects to the M&A process are permanent. Larger earnings surprises are related to increases in bid competition, in takeover premiums, and in withdrawn M&As. These results indicate that behavioral biases, characterized by trend-seeking and extrapolation, generate material distortions in some M&A transactions.
我们研究了在并购公告发布前数小时披露的意外收益,其中两家合并公司的SIC与发布公司的SIC相同,为1位数。这些意外与收购方的并购公告回报有关。与行为理论一致的是,并购公告后一周,收购方对收益意外的反应消失。虽然收购方的股票估值错误是暂时的,但对并购过程的其他影响是永久性的。更大的收益意外与出价竞争、收购溢价和撤回的并购的增加有关。研究结果表明,以趋向性和外推性为特征的行为偏差在某些并购交易中产生了实质性的扭曲。

Can Automation Reduce the Effect of Independence Conflicts on Audit Firm Liability? 自动化能降低独立性冲突对审计事务所责任的影响吗?
Pub Date : 2020-11-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3734629

We conduct three experiments to examine whether increased automation can reduce the effects of independence conflicts on audit firm liability. Our experiments manipulate (1) whether procedures are performed by an auditor or an artificial intelligence and (2) whether the audit firm was careful in maintaining the appearance of independence from the audit client. Results of the first experiment identify that automation significantly reduces the effect of the appearance of independence conflicts on jurors’ judgments of audit firm liability. This effect is driven by changes in jurors’ trust in the audit process. A second experiment replicates this finding and provides additional process evidence, including evidence that jurors’ judgments are intentional. Our third experiment replicates the findings in a simpler setting with simpler manipulations to provide further robustness. Our study contributes to literature on auditor negligence, and advances understanding of how changes in the audit landscape might affect audit firm liability.
我们进行了三个实验来检验自动化程度的提高是否可以减少独立性冲突对审计事务所责任的影响。我们的实验操纵了(1)程序是由审计师还是人工智能执行的,以及(2)审计事务所是否谨慎地保持了对审计客户的独立性。第一个实验的结果发现,自动化显著降低了独立性冲突的出现对陪审员对审计事务所责任判断的影响。这种效应是由陪审员对审计过程信任的变化所驱动的。第二个实验重复了这一发现,并提供了额外的过程证据,包括陪审员的判决是故意的证据。我们的第三个实验在一个更简单的环境中用更简单的操作重复了这些发现,以提供进一步的鲁棒性。我们的研究促进了关于审计师疏忽的文献,并促进了对审计环境变化如何影响审计事务所责任的理解。

Growth Expectations out of WACC 来自WACC的增长预期
Pub Date : 2020-11-06 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3618612
Petri Jylha, Michael Ungeheuer
We reconcile the empirically flat relation between historical betas and stock returns (flat security market line) with the common usage of the CAPM based on historical betas in valuation. Analysts bias cash flow growth expectations upwards for high-beta firms, so that the value-reducing effect of higher historical systematic risk cancels out and buy/sell-recommendations remain unrelated to beta. The association between beta and growth overestimation is driven by estimates conventionally used in the industry (e.g., Bloomberg betas), suggesting that analysts adjust growth expectations to offset beta's valuation effects, instead of exhibiting a coincidental overoptimism for high-beta firms.
我们调和历史贝塔和股票收益之间的经验平坦关系(平坦的证券市场线)与基于历史贝塔的CAPM在估值中的常用用法。分析师对高贝塔公司的现金流增长预期倾向于向上,因此,较高的历史系统风险的价值降低效应被抵消,买入/卖出建议仍然与贝塔无关。贝塔系数和增长高估之间的关联是由行业中常用的估计(例如彭博贝塔系数)驱动的,这表明分析师调整增长预期以抵消贝塔系数的估值效应,而不是对高贝塔系数的公司表现出巧合的过度乐观。

Should I Stay or Should I Go?: The Joint Effects of Valuation Specialists’ Knowledge Domain and Employer Type on Perceptions of Organizational-Professional Conflict 我该走还是该留?评估专家的知识领域和雇主类型对组织-职业冲突感知的共同影响

Despite specialists’ role in producing fair value measurements, they often encounter tensions that give rise to conflict between the specialists and both their organizational and professional demands. This study surveyed 222 highly qualified specialists to examine how differences in specialists’ domain knowledge and their employer type influence perceptions of a particular type of conflict—organizational-professional conflict (OPC). First, we find that specialists who primarily value financial instruments and are employed by non-professional services firms (e.g., banks) report significantly higher OPC levels, lower job satisfaction, and higher turnover intentions. Next, we find that prior experience in an organization like one’s current employer mitigates your perceived OPC level. Lastly, we find that specialists who have a dual role in working with auditors and management report higher OPC levels when they spend more of their time assisting auditors in evaluating fair value measurements’ reasonableness.
尽管专家在产生公允价值测量方面发挥着作用,但他们经常遇到紧张局势,导致专家与他们的组织和专业需求之间发生冲突。本研究调查了222名高素质的专家,以研究专家的领域知识及其雇主类型的差异如何影响对特定类型冲突-组织-专业冲突(OPC)的看法。首先,我们发现,非专业服务公司(如银行)雇用的主要重视金融工具的专家报告的OPC水平显著较高,工作满意度较低,离职意向较高。其次,我们发现以前在一个组织(比如现在的雇主)的工作经历会降低你的OPC水平。最后,我们发现,在与审计师和管理层合作中扮演双重角色的专家,当他们花更多的时间帮助审计师评估公允价值计量的合理性时,他们的OPC水平更高。

Auditor Skill Demands and Audit Quality: Evidence from Job Postings 审核员技能要求和审计质量:来自职位公告的证据
Pub Date : 2020-10-12 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3727495

Using a novel dataset of online job postings by accounting firms, this study empirically examines audit offices’ skill preferences and whether they relate to audit quality. Consistent with prior work in labor economics, we find the demand for cognitive, social, and technology- related skills has increased over our sample period of 2007-2017. We also find substantial variation in the demand for these skills not only across audit firms, but also across offices within an audit firm, suggesting that audit offices are not homogeneous in their demand for auditor skills. Among the three skills, we find the demand for social skills has the strongest relation with audit quality. This association is stronger for large or industry specialist audit offices and for complex clients, suggesting the benefits of social skills are greater when effective coordination and knowledge transfer are crucial in achieving high-quality audits. Taken together, our findings suggest that an audit office’s skill preferences represent an important office attribute that can affect audit quality.
本研究使用会计师事务所在线招聘的新数据集,实证检验了审计办公室的技能偏好以及它们是否与审计质量相关。与先前的劳动经济学研究一致,我们发现在2007-2017年的样本期间,对认知、社会和技术相关技能的需求有所增加。我们还发现,对这些技能的需求不仅在审计事务所之间,而且在审计事务所内部的各个办公室之间也存在很大差异,这表明审计办公室对审计师技能的需求并不相同。在这三种技能中,我们发现对社交技能的需求与审计质量的关系最为密切。对于大型或行业专业审计事务所以及复杂的客户,这种关联更强,这表明,当有效的协调和知识转移对实现高质量审计至关重要时,社交技能的好处更大。综上所述,我们的研究结果表明,审计办公室的技能偏好是影响审计质量的一个重要办公室属性。

Technology is Changing Lending: Implications for Research (A Discussion of Costello, Down, and Mehta (2020)) 技术正在改变借贷:对研究的影响(讨论Costello, Down和Mehta (2020))

Costello, Down, and Mehta (2020) trace their slider intervention to deviations from the credit line amount recommended by a credit scoring model. The deviations are followed by larger delinquency declines and bigger sales orders, and Costello et al. interpret these results using discretion-based theories. However, incremental deviations are concentrated on newer clients rather than those the lender has accumulated soft information about. Deviations also appear larger for public than private borrowers. My discussion evaluates whether these results align with discretion-based theories, and explores alternative interpretations based on salience and unique aspects of the trade credit setting. Differences in interpretation aside, the evidence is informative about technological advances in commercial lending. I conclude with an overview of several recent advances and discuss the implications for lending research.
Costello, Down和Mehta(2020)将他们的滑块干预追溯到偏离信用评分模型推荐的信用额度。这些偏差之后是更大的犯罪下降和更大的销售订单,Costello等人使用基于自由裁量权的理论解释了这些结果。然而,增量偏差集中在新客户身上,而不是那些贷款人已经积累了软信息的客户。公共借款人的偏差似乎也大于私人借款人。我的讨论评估了这些结果是否与基于自由裁量权的理论相一致,并探讨了基于贸易信贷设置的显著性和独特性的其他解释。撇开解释上的差异不谈,这些证据对商业贷款的技术进步提供了有益的信息。最后,我概述了最近的几项进展,并讨论了对贷款研究的影响。

Does Feedback Matter? The Impact of Incentive Type and Feedback on Creativity 反馈重要吗?激励类型和反馈对创造力的影响
Pub Date : 2020-09-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3695312

Accounting research on the effects of incentives on creativity finds that paying for quantity of output yields the same level of high-creativity output as paying for only creativity or for both creativity and quantity (Kachelmeier et al. 2008). This finding is surprising and counter to economic theory, which suggest multi-dimensional performance measurement systems should lead to superior performance. However, research thus far has not examined whether the results hold up in the context of feedback. Feedback has the potential to change the effect of performance dependent incentives on creativity because it informs individuals about the success (or failure) of their prior task completion strategies. We use an experiment to investigate how feedback and incentive type influence creativity in a two-round setting. Our study examines the effect of feedback on output when incentives are fixed or incentivize either creativity-only, quantity-only, or quantity and creativity. We find that, after feedback, incentives with a quantity component (e.g., quantity-only and quantity and creativity incentives) result in superior production of high-creativity output compared to fixed or creativity-only incentives.
关于激励对创造力影响的会计研究发现,为产出数量付费与只为创造力付费或为创造力和数量付费产生的高创造力产出水平相同(kachhelmeier et al. 2008)。这一发现令人惊讶,与经济学理论背道而驰。经济学理论认为,多维绩效衡量体系应该会带来卓越的绩效。然而,迄今为止的研究还没有检验这些结果在反馈的背景下是否站得住脚。反馈有可能改变绩效激励对创造力的影响,因为它告诉个体他们之前的任务完成策略的成功(或失败)。我们通过实验研究了反馈和激励类型在两轮环境下对创造力的影响。我们的研究考察了当激励是固定的,或者仅激励创造力,仅激励数量,或数量加创造力时,反馈对产出的影响。我们发现,在反馈之后,与固定或只有创造力的激励相比,具有数量成分的激励(例如,仅数量和数量和创造力激励)导致高创造力产出的优越生产。

The Impact of Hierarchical Teams, Method of Communication, and Auditor Priming on Key Audit Decisions 层级团队、沟通方法和审计师启动对关键审计决策的影响
Pub Date : 2020-09-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3690562
Patricia Wellmeyer
This experimental study explores the impact of hierarchal team decision processing in face-to-face (F2F) and computer mediated communication (CM) settings on auditors’ risk assessment and financial statement adjustment decisions. Results indicate that while hierarchal team processing of issues does not significantly impact auditor risk assessments, team processing does significantly impact auditors’ proposed adjustment decisions. Findings reveal that auditors exhibit significantly riskier decision making after hierarchical team discussions when discussions are conducted F2F versus CM, as audit experience increases, and when auditors have some versus no prior experience working on audit engagements with team members (ETM). Higher levels of task experience, however, moderate the impact of ETM on auditors’ adjustment decisions. Findings also reveal strong within-team agreement with the most experienced team member following hierarchical team processing of issues. Lastly, results show that priming of team members prior to team discussions does not significantly impact audit judgments.
本实验研究探讨了面对面(F2F)和计算机中介沟通(CM)情境下的层级团队决策处理对审计师风险评估和财务报表调整决策的影响。结果表明,虽然问题的分层团队处理对审计师的风险评估没有显著影响,但团队处理对审计师提出的调整决策有显著影响。调查结果显示,当讨论进行F2F与CM时,随着审计经验的增加,以及当审核员有一些与团队成员(ETM)一起从事审计业务的经验与没有经验时,审核员在分层团队讨论后表现出明显的风险决策。然而,较高水平的任务经验会缓和ETM对审计师调整决策的影响。调查结果还显示,在分层团队处理问题之后,团队内部与最有经验的团队成员达成了强烈的共识。最后,结果表明,团队成员在团队讨论之前的启动对审计判断没有显著影响。

Lastly, results show that priming of team members prior to team discussions does not significantly impact audit judgments.","PeriodicalId":8737,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral & Experimental Accounting eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78316577","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}

This study explores the effect of employee organizational identity on developing effective compensation contracts to improve organizational performance. We adopt the economic identity theory to mathematically model and test this model using data from a Japanese listed firm that uses an exogenous, uniform incentive scheme based on a seniority system. Situating low-level sales managers as agents and department managers as principals in the mathematical analysis reveals that when organizations do not set optimal compensation contracts, the expected utility of department managers is not high — even if they have high levels of organizational identity — because utility depends on the magnitude of incentive coefficients. Empirical results show that the coefficient of organizational identity has a significant positive relationship with organizational performance. However, surprisingly, when the incentive coefficient is high, the relationship between organizational identity and performance is negative. These results indicate that organizational identity is a “double-edged sword” in incentive schemes with a seniority system, and managers should tune their targets and incentive schemes more finely to optimize firm performance.
本研究探讨员工组织认同对制定有效的薪酬契约以提升组织绩效的影响。我们采用经济同一性理论建立数学模型,并使用日本上市公司的数据对该模型进行检验,该公司采用基于工龄制度的外生统一激励方案。在数学分析中,将低级销售经理定位为代理人,将部门经理定位为委托人,表明当组织不制定最优薪酬契约时,部门经理的期望效用并不高——即使他们具有高水平的组织认同——因为效用取决于激励系数的大小。实证结果表明,组织认同系数与组织绩效呈显著正相关。然而,令人惊讶的是,当激励系数较高时,组织认同与绩效之间呈负相关。研究结果表明,在年资制激励机制中,组织认同是一把“双刃剑”,管理者应更精细地调整目标和激励机制,以优化企业绩效。
