Abstract
The opening of equity markets to foreign investors provides financing opportunities and disrupts the stock ownership structure of the firms in the markets. In this paper, we study how this affects firms’ earnings management in the opening’s immediate aftermath. Using a broad t of countries that opened their equity markets, we find a significantly positive effect on firms’ income increasing earnings management in the year of opening.
We show that there are substantial heterogeneous effects across industries and firms. The positive effect is more pronounced in industries that are more dependent on external financing and for firms that are financially constrained, suggesting that firms’ intrinsic need for equity finance contributes to income increasing earnings management behaviors. In addition, the effect is weaker when the firm is audited by a Big N auditor, consistent with the monitoring effect of relatively more reputable auditors. We find that income-increasing earnings management is less pronounced in countries with better funded curities regulators and that it is more pronounced in countries with greater corruption. Overall, our results suggest that incentives to attract financing when a country opens its equity market to foreign investors affects firms’ reporting bias.

joy什么意思Abstract
We u the IPO tting in conjunction with accounting measures of valuation uncertainty to provide new evidence on the role of short-sales constraints in explaining mispricing. The IPOs that we predict to be most susceptible to overpricing in the immediate aftermar
ket have first-day returns of 44% and lockup expiration returns of 10%. Our granular analysis of curities lending market data shows that the IPOs experience vere short-sales constraints that peak around the lockup expiration. While prior studies are inconclusive with respect to the importance of short-sales constraints for IPOs, we provide systematic evidence that the combination of elevated valuation uncertainty with binding short-sales constraints is key to explaining aftermarket IPO pricing.

Abstract
Using a global sample from 27 developed markets between 1994 to 2016, we document a tightening trend of corporate credit ratings, which parallels the growth of rating agencies’ market shares in the region. Incread market share precedes a decline in ratings and the result holds among a t of constant firms. In addition, the trend revers following the NRSRO designation of a local rating agency in the region. Further supportin
g the notion that market power strengthens rating agencies’ reputational incentives to issue stringent ratings, we find that rating agencies’ market shares are associated with pessimistic qualitative rating adjustments.
