    ABSTRACT Prior research shows that managers make income-decreasing accounting choices around labor negotiations and predicts that managers disclose bad news during labor negotiations. This study extends the literature by investigating whether disclosure and financial statement reporting practices are consistent during employee downsizing years. Using data from Japanese domestic firms during the period 2002–2016, we find that beginning-of-period management forecasts (i.e., disclosure) are positively associated with during-period negative stock returns for downsizing firms but not for non-downsizing firms. Also, downsizing firms report more conservative earnings at the end of the fiscal year (i.e., financial statement reporting). Our supplementary analyses show no difference in an association between management forecast errors and stock returns between downsizing and non-downsizing firms with during-period negative stock returns, nor in an association between discretionary accruals and employee downsizing. These results suggest that managers strategically inform firms' prospects during employee downsizing years. JEL Classifications: G34; J51; M41.

    The purpose of this study is to identify and explain the differences in the characteristics of earnings management around the world through an examination of quarterly earnings. First, we identify an earnings target in each country. We find that corporations in Finland, Germany, Italy, and Japan tend to avoid making losses and those in Israel and the U.S. tend to avoid earnings decrease. Second, we measure the extent of earnings management in each country. Our findings show that corporations in Japan, Germany, and Israel tend to manage earnings to achieve an earnings target, meanwhile those in Finland, Singapore, and the U.S. don't tend to manage earnings relatively. Third, we examine the dividend and investment policies. Corporations in Japan and Finland are dividend focused, meanwhile those in Israel and the U.S. are investment focused. Fourth, we calculate an institutional factor to identify the reasons for earnings targets, procedures, and dividend and investment behavior. Our results show that earnings targets, procedures, and dividend and investment behavior are closely related to the accountability for investment and the propensity to take risk in each country.

    本研究課題は次の4つのプロジェクトから構成される。すなわち、①人員削減のアナウンスメントと株価反応、②労使交渉における情報共有、③人件費のコスト行動、そして、④労働法制と利益平準化である。本年度はそれぞれのプロジェクトについて下記のような研究活動を実施した。 ①では、希望退職および早期退職の募集およびその結果の適時開示に対して株式市場がどのように反応するのかについて分析を行った。分析の結果、募集に対して退職者が過剰である場合、株価が低下することを発見した。 ②では、労使交渉において労使間でどのような情報が共有されるのかについてあきらかにすることを目的としている。本年度は先行研究の整理を行った。 ③では、親会社について人件費を開示しているという日本企業の特徴を活かして、人件費のコスト行動を分析した。研究の手始めとして人件費の粘着性と利益平準化の関係性を分析したが、かならずしも明瞭な結果を得ることはできなかった。そこで、人件費の粘着性に着目し、人件費を単価と人数に分解した分析を行った。その結果、人件費の粘着性が観察され、特に従業員数の粘着性が人件費の粘着性に影響を与えていることが発見された。一方、単価についてはかならずしも頑健な結果を得ることはできていない。また、企業と従業員の関係性で企業を分類し、人件費・従業員数・単価の粘着性を分析した。 ④では、労働法制と利益平準化の関係性に対して配当がどのような影響を与えるのかについて国際比較分析を行った。まず、米国企業を対象に労働組合と利益平準化の関係を分析した先行研究と整合的に、労働者保護の強い国の企業はより利益平準化を行うことを発見した。さらに、配当を行っている企業についてはこの関係性が強まることを発見した。ただし、配当水準についてはそのような関係を発見することはできなかった。

  • An experimental study of conservatism and enforcement in the process of preparation of financial accounting information

    Impairment accounting among the accounting conservatism attracts a great deal of attention because of its relationship with the international accounting standards. This study experimentally investigates how accounting transparency affects the decision-making of chief executive officers (CEOs) regarding impairment loss recognition, with a focus on management compensation plans and the disclosure of conflicts of opinion with auditors. We find that CEOs are more likely to avoid recording impairment losses under conditions that include a performance-based compensation plan than under conditions without such a plan. Further, the disclosure of conflicts of opinion with auditors attenuates management’s incentive to avoid impairment recognition. In this regard, CEOs with a higher fear of negative evaluation are more inclined to recognize impairment losses.
