Abstract:
When-issued trading, the contractual agreement for the sale and purchase of shares to be issued in the future (when-issued securities), typically occurs after stock split announcements. Curiously, when-issued trading does not always exist for a stock-splitting firm's shares even though the shares are eligible for when-issued trading. Although stock splits have been the subject of a large number of studies, intriguing questions concerning these events remain unanswered. In particular, academia has yet to explain adequately the positive average abnormal returns associated with stock split annou

Abstract:
The backdrop of this dissertation is one ubiquitous element of everyday life: the stock market. Traditionally, accounting and stock markets are logically coordinate entities and this thesis analyzes how accounting supports private investors in their role as shareholders – as investors in shares and owners of companies. This analysis is carried out in four independent essays. The first two essays analyze the privatization of Telia, a former state-owned Telecommunication Company in Sweden that went public in 2000.

Abstract:
Significant prior work exists in both the macroeconomics field and in finance and accounting into determinants of stock returns, although very few studies have tried to link both types of information together. This research seeks to bridge that gap. Seven macroeconomic variables and 15 accounting identities are hypothesised to explain stock returns, using a stepwise multiple regression procedure. Three macrovariables, GDP, real interest rates, and an exchange rate variable, together with four accounting variables are found to explain 3 month returns in an estimation sample.

Using Ohlson’s (1980) measure of bankruptcy risk (O-Score), Dichev (1998) documents a bankruptcy risk anomaly in which firms with high bankruptcy risk earn lower than average returns.

This study investigates whether the receipt of a modified audit report is associated with a reduction in the perceived (by investors) quality of the firm's earnings as reflected in its earnings response coefficient (ERC).

Furthermore, there is likely to be greater uncertainty regarding the production, investment, and financing (PIF) activities of these firms.

Existing research suggests that market misvaluations affect corporate investment, often leading to suboptimal investment. I examine whether earnings smoothness reduces the impact of market valuations on corporate investment and in turn enhances investment efficiency. I find that earnings smoothness has a strong negative effect on the sensitivity of corporate investment to stock prices. Further analyses indicate that this negative effect is driven by both innate and discretionary components of earnings smoothness and is more pronounced for firms operating in more volatile business environment

Using household survey data, I examine how accounting quality of public companies at the state level affects households’ stock market participation decisions. I find that households residing in states where local public companies have better accounting quality are more likely to invest in stocks.

碩士<br>佛光人文社會學院<br>經濟學研究所<br>92<br>Abstract This study attempts to forecast the abnormal return ratios for the stock issued by TSE companies via the open market information. Therefore, this study incorporates the abnormal return ratios of stock price as dependent variables and the accounting ratios as independent variables; and selects the significant independent variables via step-wise regression, thereby constructing a model to forecast the abnormal return for stock prices. This study has attempted to compare accounting ratios and forecast future price changes through both models.
