International Variation in Accounting Measurement Rules and Analysts’ Earnings Forecast Errors
We theorize that accounting systems affect analysts’ forecast accuracy through changes in earnings variability. We argue that the matching and historical cost principles reduce earnings variability, and hence, reduce analysts’ earnings forecast errors. We also argue that restricting the choice of ac...

International Variation in Accounting Measurement Rules and Analysts’ Earnings Forecast Errors |
abstract |
We theorize that accounting systems affect analysts’ forecast accuracy through changes in earnings variability. We argue that the matching and historical cost principles reduce earnings variability, and hence, reduce analysts’ earnings forecast errors. We also argue that restricting the choice of accounting methods can result in larger forecast errors. We argue that more informative disclosure environments should reduce forecast errors. We test whether variation in these factors across countries explain variation in analysts’ earnings forecast bias and accuracy. Our results indicate that these characteristics of financial accounting systems are complements, and that they affect financial analysts’ earnings forecast errors. |

We argue that the matching and historical cost principles reduce earnings variability, and hence, reduce analysts’ earnings forecast errors. We also argue that restricting the choice of accounting methods can result in larger forecast errors. We argue that more informative disclosure environments should reduce forecast errors. We test whether variation in these factors across countries explain variation in analysts’ earnings forecast bias and accuracy. Our results indicate that these characteristics of financial accounting systems are complements, and that they affect financial analysts’ earnings forecast errors.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="533" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="d">2003</subfield><subfield code="f">Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005</subfield><subfield code="7">|2003||||||||||</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">accrual accounting</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Hwang, LeeSeok</subfield><subfield code="e">verfasserin</subfield><subfield code="4">aut</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Jan, Ching-Lih</subfield><subfield code="e">verfasserin</subfield><subfield code="4">aut</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">In</subfield><subfield code="t">Journal of business finance & accounting</subfield><subfield code="d">Oxford : Wiley-Blackwell, 1974</subfield><subfield code="g">25(1998), 9/10, Seite 0</subfield><subfield code="h">Online-Ressource</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-627)NLEJ243927193</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-600)2020001-8</subfield><subfield code="x">1468-5957</subfield><subfield code="7">nnns</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="1" ind2="8"><subfield code="g">volume:25</subfield><subfield code="g">year:1998</subfield><subfield code="g">number:9/10</subfield><subfield code="g">pages:0</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="u">http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1468-5957.00234</subfield><subfield code="q">text/html</subfield><subfield code="x">Verlag</subfield><subfield code="z">Deutschlandweit zugänglich</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_USEFLAG_U</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-1-DJB</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_NL_ARTICLE</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="951" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">AR</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="d">25</subfield><subfield code="j">1998</subfield><subfield code="e">9/10</subfield><subfield code="h">0</subfield></datafield></record></collection>
