本文比较了美国和德国公司为了超过盈利门槛而对盈利进行管理的程度。在Burgstahler和Dichev(1997)之后,我们分析了收益的分布,以发现美国和德国的公司是否为了避免亏损、收益减少或收益低于分析师的预测而对报告的收益进行了管理。我们测试的数据来自WorldScope和Osiris数据库。样本包括美国公司的38714个公司年度观察和德国公司从1991年到2000年的3524个公司年度观察。鉴于美国和德国公司制度环境的显著差异,我们预计两国以门槛为导向的盈余管理程度将有所不同。然而,美国和德国为避免亏损和收益减少而进行的盈余管理程度之间的差异在统计上并不显著。相比之下,盈余管理是为了……

Following Burgstahler and Dichev (1997), we analyze the distribution of earnings to discover whether U.S. and German firms have managed reported earnings in order to avoid losses, decreases in earnings, or earnings below the forecasts of analysts. The data for our tests have been taken from the Worldscope and the Osiris databases. The sample comprises 38,714 firm‐year observations for U.S. companies and 3,524 firm‐year observations for German companies for the years 1991 to 2000. Given the pronounced differences between the institutional environments of U.S. and German firms, we expect the extent of thresholdoriented earnings management to differ between the two countries. However, differences between the extent of earnings management to avoid losses and earnings decreases in the U.S. and in Germany are not statistically significant. By contrast, earnings management in order to a...
