讲座内容摘要:
Using a controlled laboratory experiment, we investigate the causal effects of financial reporting regulation and provide comprehensive evidence along the entire causal path from financial reporting regulation to disclosure outcomes and economic consequences. Our study reveals that the effectiveness of financial reporting regulations is contingent on their binding likelihood. While weak regulations with lower binding probability prove ineffective, strong regulations significantly enhance the informativeness of earnings disclosure, improve pricing efficiency in the secondary market, and protect investors' interests. Additionally, we identify two distinct mechanisms through which financial reporting regulations enhance disclosure quality: constraining earnings management practices and inducing signaling behavior. The greatest welfare improvement occurs when earnings management is most effectively suppressed. Our findings underscore the critical role of financial reporting regulation in elevating market quality and shed light on previously contradictory empirical results surrounding financial reporting regulations.
本文通过一个受控的实验室实验,研究财务报告监管的因果影响,并提供了从财务报告监管到披露结果和经济后果的完整证据链。研究表明,财务报告监管的有效性取决于其约束力的可能性。低约束力的弱监管无效,而高约束力的强监管则显著提高了收益披露的有效性,改善了二级市场的定价效率,保护了投资者的利益。此外,我们发现财务报告监管通过两种机制提升了披露质量:限制收益管理行为和诱导信号传递行为。当收益管理被最有效地抑制时,福利改善效果最为显著。我们的研究强调了财务报告监管在提升市场质量中的关键作用,并解释了此前关于财务报告监管的实证结果为何存在矛盾。
