The Determinants Of Analyst-Firm Pairings, Lihong Liang, Edward J. Riedl, Ramgopal Venkataraman Jan 2008

The Determinants Of Analyst-Firm Pairings, Lihong Liang, Edward J. Riedl, Ramgopal Venkataraman

Accounting - All Scholarship

This paper explores the determinants of observed analyst-firm pairings. We adopt an analyst/brokerage house perspective that allows us to examine not only firm-level characteristics as in prior research, but also attributes of the analyst and the analyst’s brokerage house that may drive these pairings. Our empirical analyses provide two primary insights. First, analyst characteristics such as industry expertise and relative experience, and brokerage house characteristics such as continuity of coverage, are associated with the decision to follow a firm. Second, there is substantial variation in the association between firm, analyst, and brokerage house characteristics and the decision to follow a …


Reassessing Accounting Faculty Scholarly Expectations: Journal Classification By Author Affiliation, Alan N. Attaway, Sidney J. Baxendale, Benjamin P. Foster, Julia N. Karcher Jan 2008

Reassessing Accounting Faculty Scholarly Expectations: Journal Classification By Author Affiliation, Alan N. Attaway, Sidney J. Baxendale, Benjamin P. Foster, Julia N. Karcher

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

An extensive literature exists that determines accounting journal rankings and top research producers both individually and by program. While this research stream provides valuable insights to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB) accredited programs and to programs working to achieve such accreditation, it frequently is based on quality perceptions or considers top-rated programs only. This study extends previous research by reviewing authorship by faculty at a wider range of institutions. The results of this study suggest that lists based on the “top” journals may be unrealistic for many institutions. The information provided in this manuscript should …

Oil And Gas Financial Reporting Using The Usgaap Xbrl Taxonomy, Tim Mahon, Ernest Capozzoli Jan 2008

Oil And Gas Financial Reporting Using The Usgaap Xbrl Taxonomy, Tim Mahon, Ernest Capozzoli

Faculty Articles

The Oil and Gas industry has very unique requirements in reporting oil and gas producing activities. Because of these unique requirements, it has been difficult to compare Oil and Gas companies over the years. The current XBRL US taxonomy includes standardized Oil and Gas disclosures. This paper will introduce the requirements Oil and Gas companies are to follow when reporting their financial information. Also, an analysis of the U. S. GAAP taxonomy was done by tagging Anadarko’s 2006 financial statements1. The analysis was to determine if the taxonomy includes elements for each of these requirements. Finally, conclusions of the analysis …


The Framing And Evaluation Of Multiple Hypotheses, Theodore J. Mock, Arnold Wright, Rajendra P. Srivastava, Hai Lu Jan 2008

The Framing And Evaluation Of Multiple Hypotheses, Theodore J. Mock, Arnold Wright, Rajendra P. Srivastava, Hai Lu

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This study provides exploratory evidence on auditors’ framing and evaluation of hypotheses, identifies implications for improving audit decision-making and facilitates the interpretation of prior research. Prior studies usually assume hypotheses to be framed as mutually exclusive and exhaustive. However, both verbal protocol evidence and probability assessments reveal that in a realistic case most auditors frame the hypotheses as a non-mutually exclusive and exhaustive set of causes. Further, auditor probability assessments tend to reflect multiple causes. Finally, exploratory analyses indicate auditors have difficulty in updating assessments consistent with the perceived interrelationships between hypotheses.


Implications Of Transaction Costs For The Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift, Jeffrey Ng, Rodrigo Verdi, Tjomme Rusticus Jan 2008

Implications Of Transaction Costs For The Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift, Jeffrey Ng, Rodrigo Verdi, Tjomme Rusticus

Research Collection School Of Accountancy

This paper examines the effect of transaction costs on the post–earnings announcement drift (PEAD). Using standard market microstructure features we show that transaction costs constrain the informed trades that are necessary to incorporate earnings information into price. This implies weaker return responses at the time of the earnings announcement and higher subsequent returns drift for firms with higher transaction costs. Consistent with this prediction, we find that earnings response coefficients are lower for firms with higher transaction costs. Using portfolio analyses, we find that the profits of implementing the PEAD trading strategy are significantly reduced by transaction costs. In addition, …


Unusual Digital Patterns In Eps: Evidence On The Association Between Earnings Management And Company Characteristics, Charles E. Jordan, Stanley J. Clark, Mary M. Anderson Jan 2008

Unusual Digital Patterns In Eps: Evidence On The Association Between Earnings Management And Company Characteristics, Charles E. Jordan, Stanley J. Clark, Mary M. Anderson

Faculty Publications

Prior studies (Thomas, 1989; Das and Zhang, 2003) provide evidence of earnings manipulation to achieve cognitive reference points in EPS. The current study extends this line of research by examining the relation between unusual digital patterns in the right EPS position and specific firm characteristics. Results suggest that the propensity to manage earnings to effect desired EPS results is particularly associated with company size and to a lesser degree with operating performance and the level of debt leverage employed.
