论文摘要

Government Affiliation, Analyst Behavior and the Economic Consequences

A large number of regional brokerage firms in China are owned by their respective local governments. We use this setting to examine how government affiliation affects brokerage firms’ research activities and the economic consequences. We find that analysts working at local government-affiliated brokerage firms issue more research reports for firms in the local government’s jurisdiction than for other firms. These reports contain more optimistic stock recommendations, but not short-term earnings forecasts. The effects are stronger for firms that receive more subsidies from the local government and operate in regions with greater local government intervention. Further analysis shows that firms covered by local government-affiliated brokerage firms rely less on debt financing, and are able to raise equity capital from the stock markets at lower costs. These firms in turn contribute to their local governments through greater local employment, higher tax payment, and more capital investment. Findings of this study advance our understanding of the key determinants of analyst performance, and provide new evidence for the debate concerning the role of government intervention in the financial institutions.

 

技术创新激励政策下的研发管理与费用分类调整行为

技术创新激励政策旨在鼓励企业创新，在实践中可能存在诱发企业为寻求政策优惠而策略性调整费用分类的行为，但相关的学术研究较少。本文发现企业会通过调整管理费用分类以增加研发费用，且主要通过调整管理费用中的员工薪酬和折旧摊销项目实现。进一步，本文发现费用分类调整的行为在非国有企业和具有盈余压力的企业中更加明显，但面临着审计和税收征管的内外部监督；对研发费用进行正确归属和列报有助于抑制费用分类调整行为。此外，销售费用和生产成本也会被分类调整以增加研发费用。最后，存在费用分类调整行为的企业虽然获取了税收优惠和政府补贴，但其研发绩效显著更低。

 

Employee Expenses, Financial Reporting Quality and Firm Investment

We study the effect of employee expenses increase on financial reporting quality and firm investment. Using two exogenous shocks that increases the employee expenses, the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and mandated flood disclosure laws, we find that firms affected by the shocks spend more to improve employee welfare and experience a decline in profitability. In response, they engage in more income-increasing accruals to ease stakeholders’ concern about firm performance. This strategy successfully mitigates the real consequences of heightened employee expenses. Firms that engage in more income-increasing accruals experience less reduction in capital expenditures after the shocks than firms that don’t manage earnings. Overall, our study documents how firms use accounting choices to counter the negative impact of employee expense increase on their operations.
