I investigate whether the release of factsheets in Morningstar plays a role in the trading behavior of retail investors. I find that retail investors react more to performance measures in factsheets when these are disseminated through Morningstar, and therefore made salient, than when they are not. The results cannot be explained by dissemination via alternative platforms, fund advertising, marketing by financial intermediaries, funds’ anticipation of investor reaction, or selective reporting of performance measures. Additional analysis suggests that factsheets do not help improve retail investors’ investment allocation decisions; if anything, I find some evidence consistent with overreaction to performance measures disseminated via factsheets, while mandatory fund disclosures tend to mitigate this overreaction. Taken together, these findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of summary disclosures by highlighting the unintended consequence of investor overreaction.</p>","PeriodicalId":48120,"journal":{"name":"Review of Accounting Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211044","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}

Using the rules-based continuum score and a new principles-based continuum score, we find that before convergence, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) contained more rules-based standards, while International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) contained more principles-based standards. After the convergence project, US GAAP became relatively more principles-based, while IFRS became relatively more rules-based, consistent with both standard-setters compromising in their approaches to standard setting in order to facilitate convergence. Overall, our results suggest that the convergence project achieved its goal of improving alignment between US GAAP and IFRS.

What is also crucial but hitherto underexplored is the unexpectedness of defaults. We develop a parsimonious measure of default unexpectedness and highlight its economic importance by demonstrating that unexpected defaults are associated with unfavorable recovery outcomes and adverse price changes in peer firm bonds. We then examine how default unexpectedness relates to information opacity. We find that firms with opaque financial reporting and weak voluntary disclosure experience more unexpected defaults. Defaults also occur more unexpectedly when the external information environment is opaque—when rating agencies disagree on a firm’s credit risk and when the media coverage is low. We further report evidence on a specific case in which transparent firms suffer unexpected defaults—when creditors’ run incentives are particularly high. Overall, our paper introduces default unexpectedness as an economically relevant construct, offers a tractable measure, and highlights the role of transparency in mediating this phenomenon.</p>","PeriodicalId":48120,"journal":{"name":"Review of Accounting Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142211046","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}

Our model entails a CEO who encounters a project and, after gathering information, decides whether to seek the approval of a corporate board. The CEO may be able to choose the properties of the collected information—this may happen if the project is “novel,” i.e., explores a new technology, business concept, or market and directors are less knowledgeable about it. We find that only sufficiently conservative and expansion-cautious directors can discipline the CEO’s empire-building tendency and opportunistic information collection. Such directors, however, underinvest in projects that are not novel. The board that maximizes firm value is either conservative or neutral (has interests aligned with the shareholders) and always overinvests in innovations. Boards with greater expertise are more likely to be conservative, but their bias is less severe.

Earnings growth also improves states’ component forecasts of personal income, sales, and corporate income tax revenues. We also find that both forecast errors and lagged earnings growth can explain midyear spending cuts, suggesting that there are real consequences to omitting earnings growth from tax revenue forecasts.

We examine whether partisan bias is present in <i>managers’</i> annual earnings forecasts. We find that firms with CEOs whose partisanship aligns with that of the US president issue more optimistically biased annual earnings forecasts than firms with other CEOs.
