This undervaluation is achieved by less stringent verification criteria in acknowledging losses compared with gains, resulting in more timely recognition of economic losses. Utilizing a sample of firms traded on Borsa Istanbul from 2009 to 2019, this study reveals that firms with a greater degree of conservatism witness a significant reduction in crash risk after accounting for firm-specific determinants of crash risk along with firm and year fixed effects. This result corroborates the findings in the literature on conservatism, revealing that conservatism diminishes the ability of managers to withhold unfavorable information. In addition, the results are economically meaningful and hold after a set of tests to assess robustness. The findings are particularly relevant for underperforming firms, indicating that an increase in adverse information enhances the motivation for firms to obscure and delay sharing the information. Further analysis demonstrates that accounting conservatism offers advantages by mitigating future crash risk, especially for firms with high intangible intensity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46690,"journal":{"name":"Borsa Istanbul Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214845024000735/pdfft?md5=f7c03d84adf336981f8497812f367ee0&pid=1-s2.0-S2214845024000735-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140784504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the spread cannot be precisely estimated because of microstructure noise, the QV of the price series, consisting of the transaction prices and midquotes (an expanded filtration of transaction prices), in limit order markets is an important property of high-frequency datasets. An empirical examination of a sample of stocks from the NASDAQ 100 is used to estimate and examine the QV. The examination is done at high resolution (subsecond timescale). The QV of our sample best fits a log-normal distribution with higher skewness. The QV of trades (29.73E–05) is distant from the QV measured with pretrade and posttrade price series, as they are characterized by a high range in QV. Similarly, the QV is generally lower with pretrades than posttrades. Using a high resolution, the revealed state of the limit order book presents a solution that reduced the impact cost of trading. The QV is higher with the limit order book (68.5E–05) than with trades. A measure called the limit-to-market order signal shows a consistent pattern of decline in stocks with increasing activity. The limit-to-market signal ranged from an average of 3.55 in the first quartile of stocks based on messages to 1.84 in the third quartile. This signal decreases because of a relatively larger decline in uncertainty in QV using the limit order book.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46690,"journal":{"name":"Borsa Istanbul Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214845024000577/pdfft?md5=670f8ae01c138bf34f941688ed6b4620&pid=1-s2.0-S2214845024000577-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140806097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also determine that banking uncertainty is associated with lower bank debt in firms, indicating a substitution effect between bank credit and trade credit when uncertainty rises. A further mechanism test shows that the uncertainty effect on trade credit works through strategic and financing motives.

Interestingly, a negative relationship emerges between bond performance and growth, suggesting that the mere issuing of bonds may not be enough to ensure sustainable economic expansion. The importance of refined valuation methods for these bonds is emphasized, along with the risk of economic imbalance caused by the uneven distribution of bond investments across sectors, akin to the \"Dutch disease.\" The need to align investment strategies with both economic and environmental objectives to address challenges like persistent carbon emissions is also stressed. The authors advocate the integrating of considerations of bond issuance and performance into long-term sustainability strategies.

The main findings reveal a U-shaped relationship between digital technology and the GVC position, which means that, during the catch-up stage of digital technology, negative effects on input demand chains lead to a decline in GVC status, whereas, at a mature phase of technological development, positive effects on output supply chains enhance the GVC position.
