Synopsis

Excerpt from The Relative Informativeness of Accounting Disclosures in Different Countries

This paper compares the information content and timeliness of accounting earnings in several countries using the United States as a benchmark. We perform two types of analyses. The first, based on the seminal work of Ball and Brown examines the contemporaneous association between the sign of unexpected earnings and stock returns. The second estimates a regression model of long-window stock returns on the contemporaneous level and change in earnings. Our investigation provides evidence on whether differences in capital markets accounting standards, disclosure practices, and corporate governance lead to Significant differences in the usefulness of accounting earnings. The effect of these differences is important given greater integration of capital markets and the resulting debate in the United States over the appropriate listing requirements for foreign stocks.
