The study is based on a sample of IPO firms which went public on the Warsaw Stock Exchange from 1998 to 2013. The paper shows that the concept of par value – which was invented to protect buyers and lenders against shares being issued without corresponding existing assets – interacts with investor behaviour and can be used to improve the success of a share issue. The paper also shows that this concept does not affect the profitability of companies after IPO.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125772477","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}

We model that an informed forward-looking buyer sequentially trades with a series of uninformed sellers (hedgers) with heterogenous hedging motives. We discover that sellers' price discovery over the underlying hidden fundamentals is crucially affected by what they can observe about past trade details. Specifically, (i) the availability of past trade details, paradoxically, makes it easier for the informed party to hide her private information and offer opaque prices. (ii) Post-trade price transparency delays price discovery, but once it happens, it is always perfect. (iii) In contrast, when only past order information is available, price discovery can never be perfect, and can even be in the wrong direction. Finally, we show that our findings are robust for diminishing bargaining power, non-zero outside options, and different trading positions.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114231889","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}

In this study, we analyze whether the voluntary purchase of an AR reduces the screening costs of lenders and translates into lower cost of debt for borrowers. We use a sample of 8,021 firm-year observations from 1,678 public firms in Canada over the period 2004-2015 to test this prediction. The results suggest that firms with voluntary ARs have a lower cost of debt than firms with no AR. Further analyses using samples of public bonds and private loans corroborate our findings. Cross-sectional analyses suggest that, for borrowers with higher information asymmetry, the impact of voluntary ARs is incrementally stronger only for public debt. Our study is the first to document that the voluntary purchase of ARs caters to lenders’ informational needs and benefits listed borrowers through a lower cost of debt financing.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122158102","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}

To be a smart and wise family finance manager, it does not have to be a financial expert. Family finance management does require knowledge and wisdom in running it. Most people who feel intimidated by this problem, even ignore it.

It examines the past and future growth components of accruals and shows that, whereas past growth is negatively associated with idiosyncratic skewness, future growth is positively associated with it. In addition, although both past and future growth are negatively associated with future returns, the association is more pronounced for past growth when volatility is lower, but for future growth when volatility is higher. The study also shows that the association between the future growth component and future returns reverses in the long run, whereas the association between past growth and future returns does not.

The study adopts the unweighted disclosure approach to measure the extent of FI-related information provided by a sample of 282 Qatari firm observations between 2005 and 2012. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of IFRS 7 statistically improved FI-related information. Specifically, the quantity of FI disclosure rose from 24% in 2005 (under IAS 30/32) to greater than 28% in 2007 (under IFRS 7) and this rise was sustained, reaching 47% in 2012. Also, the results of the study reveal that the level of FI disclosure varies among companies by year, category of information and industry type. The current paper provides a great insight into the accounting profession and is of interest to both national (Qatari) and international accounting regulators regarding the implications of applying IFRS 7 in an emerging capital market.","PeriodicalId":113347,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Financial Accounting (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129044982","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}
