Using the degree of disaggregation in financial reports and patent-based measures to proxy for financial information quality and significance of innovative outputs, respectively, we find that the patented inventions of firms with more disaggregated financial reports are less innovative. We also document that the negative association is more pronounced for firms with more intense product market threats, a situation in which the spillover of more detailed information is costlier. We further validate our argument by documenting that disclosures of more and finer information actually help peers increase innovation activities and investments, consistent with the peers’ effective strategic responses to the disclosing firm’s innovation. Overall, the results from the cross-sectional analysis and validation tests confirm the channel through which more disaggregated financial information can lead to a decline in firm innovation performance. This study contributes to the literatures on information spillovers, economic consequences of financial reporting, proprietary costs of disclosures, and innovation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"45 ","pages":"Article 107212"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140900896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The result remains robust after conducting a parallel trends test and a placebo test, and using a propensity score matching approach. Furthermore, non-disclosure becomes more prevalent among firms with highly perceived customer risks and significant discretionary revenues. These findings imply that negative information transmission between economically linked firms and potential agency issues inherent to supplier firms prompt them to withhold customer identity. Finally, a non-disclosing strategy benefits firms by lowering the probability of fraud detection and reducing operating uncertainty.

We examined the effects of differences in the legal enforcement of jurisdictions on comparability. We assessed comparability using an output-based method on a sample of CBL firms domiciled in 42 countries. The results do not provide evidence of comparability in the IFRS-based financial reports of different legal environments. The results also indicate that differences in legal enforcement are negatively associated with comparability. We also find evidence that the use of Big Four (Big 4) auditing services by CBL firms provides better comparability than the use of non-Big 4 services.

This effect is stronger for firms operating in more uncertain and complex environments, those that narrowly meet or beat analyst consensus forecasts, and those with less powerful CFOs. Audit committee–CFO political dissimilarity is also associated with fewer material weaknesses and a lower likelihood of having “small” profits.

Inconsistent with the traditional information economics theory that information disclosure can alleviate information asymmetry, we find robust evidence that insiders in firms with more narrative R&amp;D disclosures gain significantly greater returns from their stock selling, but this positive relation is attenuated when the readability of R&amp;D-related texts is higher. We examine two potential channels through which more narrative R&amp;D disclosures increase information asymmetry, thus creating opportunities for insiders to trade profitably. One is managers’ obfuscation disclosure of narrative R&amp;D information due to proprietary costs, and the other is the high information processing costs associated with the technical nature of R&amp;D information. We also find that good corporate governance mechanisms can weaken the positive association between narrative R&amp;D disclosure and insider trading profitability. In further analysis, we provide evidence that more narrative R&amp;D disclosures indeed exert high information processing costs for investors and provide opportunities for insiders to trade more before bad news arrives.

Further, we consider a government's behavior to analyze the case in which the government can flexibly change the non-deductible ratio.

Additional tests reveal that investments in auditor-provided tax and non-audit services increased, and the accuracy of analyst earnings forecasts decreased for firms most likely negatively affected by the decision. We also show that our sample firms identified as likely to be positively (negatively) affected by <em>Wayfair</em> experienced increased sales (operating costs) following the decision.
