Price Appreciation, Bargaining Power, And The Determinants Of Corporate Leasing Policy, Daniel John Stone Dec 2011

Price Appreciation, Bargaining Power, And The Determinants Of Corporate Leasing Policy, Daniel John Stone

Pursuit - The Journal of Undergraduate Research at The University of Tennessee

This study uses price appreciation and bargaining power measures to determine whether current accounting standards are effective at classifying leases by ownership risk. I use a regression model, and find that there is a positive and significant relationship between changes in capital leases and my proxies for price appreciation and the interaction between price appreciation and bargaining power. I also find, however, that it’s possible that operating leases may be increasing faster, which would discount the theory that these standards are operating properly. These results should be cause for further study on the subject and should be interesting to regulators.

MTAS Publications: Full Publications

Proper municipal accounting is basic to efficient city administration. Hence, if good municipal government is to prevail, the accounting system must be so designed and operated as to produce the required fiscal information. For this reason the Municipal Technical Advisory Service is grateful for the opportunity to make available to municipal finance officers and other officials in Tennessee this publication, a "Manual of Accounts." The manual is the first of a series of important technical publications in this field; two others now in preparation are scheduled for publication within the coming year.
