  2. By: Juliane Begenau; Saki Bigio; Jeremy Majerovitz; Matias Vieyra
    Abstract: We propose a dynamic bank theory with a delayed loss recognition mechanism and a regulatory capital constraint at its core. The estimated model matches four facts about banks’ Tobin’s Q that summarize bank leverage dynamics. (1) Book and market equity values diverge, especially during crises; (2) Tobin’s Q predicts future bank profitability; (3) neither book nor market leverage constraints are binding for most banks; (4) bank leverage and Tobin’s Q are mean reverting but highly persistent. We examine a counterfactual experiment where different accounting rules produce a novel policy tradeoff.

    Abstract: This paper deals with auditing standard setters in France, in a longitudinal perspective. We combined the sociological and historical approaches of neo-institutional theory and offer a dynamic analysis of the evolution of the actors involved and their attributions. With an interpretative approach, the paper is based on a study involving 24 interviews, a participant immersion and a document review for the 2001-2020 period. It highlights three phases during which the balance of power evolves according to isomorphic mechanisms.
    Abstract: Ce papier s'intéresse aux acteurs de la normalisation de l'audit en France, dans une perspective longitudinale. En mobilisant les approches sociologique et historique de la théorie néoinstitutionnelle, nous proposons une analyse dynamique de l'évolution des acteurs en présence et de leurs attributions. Notre démarche est interprétative et repose sur 24 entretiens, une immersion participative et une étude documentaire sur la période 2001-2020. Elle fait ressortir trois phases au cours desquelles le rapport de force évolue au gré de mécanismes isomorphiques.

  4. By: Vanessa Behrmann; Lars Hornuf; Jochen Zimmermann
    Abstract: In this article, we investigate the deregulation efforts resulting from the 2015 transposition of the EU’s Transparency Directive into German law and analyze whether a reduction in the minimum content requirements for quarterly reporting increases information asymmetries and decreases firm value. Using a novel dataset of firms that are listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, our results reveal that over the period from 2012 to 2019, lower quarterly reporting levels on average have increased information asymmetry and reduced firm value. We find that this effect is stronger for second-tier stocks and firms with low media coverage. Our results are robust to potential selection effects regarding firms’ choice of quarterly reporting content levels.

    Abstract: We study how the interplay of disclosure and regulation shapes capital allocation in reward crowdfunding. Using data from Kickstarter, the largest online reward crowdfunding platform, we show that, even in the absence of clear regulation and enforcement mechanisms, disclosure helps entrepreneurs access capital for their projects and bolsters engagement with potential project backers, consistent with the notion that disclosure mitigates moral hazard. We further document that, subsequent to a change in Kickstarter’s terms of use that increases the threat of consumer litigation, the association between project funding and disclosure becomes stronger. This evidence suggests that consumer protection regulation enhances the perceived credibility of disclosure. We find the effect of the change in terms of use to be more pronounced in states with stricter consumer protection regulations. Taken together, our findings yield important insights on the role of disclosure, as well as on the potential effects of increased regulation on crowdfunding platforms.
