摘要
我研究了气候政策不确定性(CPU)如何影响收益管理(EM)。分析表明,高水平的气候政策不确定性与异常酌情应计项目绝对值的减少有关。这种关系在两种工具变量方法、若干内部和外部治理因素以及各种替代的 EM 度量中都保持稳健。此外,我还发现,CPU 与 EM 之间的负相关关系在那些更有可能陷入财务困境、更受机构投资者监督以及更有企业社会责任(CSR)实践的公司中更为明显。
Climate policy uncertainty and earnings management
I investigate how climate policy uncertainty (CPU) influences earnings management (EM). The analysis reveals that high levels of CPU are associated with a reduction in the absolute value of abnormal discretionary accruals. This relationship remains robust across two instrumental variable approaches, several internal and external governance factors, and various alternative measures of EM. Additionally, I find that the negative association between CPU and EM is more pronounced in firms with a higher likelihood of financial distress, greater institutional investor monitoring, and stronger corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices.
