The Ball and Brown Study ? Ball Brown (BB, 1968) began a tradition of empirical markets research in accounting that continues to this day. ? They were the first to provide convincing scientific evidence that firms’ share returns respond to the information content of financial statements. ? Methodology and Findings ? Causation Versus Association ? Outes of the BB Study 29Jan23 05The Information Approach to Decision Usefulness 28 Methodology and Findings ? BB examined a sample of 261 NYSE firms over nine years from 1957 to 1965. ? BB concentrated on the information content of earnings. ? BB’s first task was to measure the information content of earnings, that is, good news (GN) and bad news (BN)…… . Thus, firms with earnings higher than last year’s were classified as GN, and vice versa. ? The next task was to evaluate the market return on the shares of the sample firms near the time of each earnings announcement. This was down according to the abnormal returns procedure illustrated in Figure . The only difference was BB used monthly returns (daily returns were not available on databases in 1968) ? BB repeated their abnormal security market returns calculation for a wide window consisting of each of the 11 months prior to and 6 moths following the month of earnings release (month 0). 29Jan23 05The Information Approach to Decision Usefulness 29 Methodology and Findings Average cumulative ones 29Jan23 05The Information Approach to Decision Usefulness 30 Causation Versus Association ? If a security market reaction to accounting information is observed during a narrow window of a few days surrounding an earnings announcement, it can be argued that the accounting information is the cause of the market reaction. ? It cannot be claimed that reported ine caused the abnormal returns during the 11 months leading up to month 0. The most that can be argued is that ine and returns are associated. ? We will find that the association between share returns and earnings increased as the window widens (Easton, Harris Ohlson, 1992。 Warfield Wild, 1992) 29Jan23 05The Information Approach to Decision Usefulness 31 Outes of the BB Study ? It opened up a large number of additional usefulness issues: ? Whether the magnitude of unexpected earnings is related to the magnitude of the security market response (Beaver, Clarke Wright, 1979). ? Since 1968, accounting researchers have studied securities market response to ine on other stock exchanges, in other countries, and for quarterly earnings reports, with similar results. ? The approach has been applied to study market response to the information contained in new accounting standards, auditor changes, etc. ? Earnings response coefficients (ESC) asks a different question, namely, for a given amount of unexpected earnings, is the security market response greater for some firms than others? 29Jan23 05The Information Approach to Decision Usefulness 32 Response Coefficients(ERC) ? Reasons for Differential Market Response ? Implications of ERC Research ? Measuring Investors’ Earnings Expectations ? Summary An earnings response coefficients (ERC) measures the extent of a security’s abnormal market return in response to the unexpected ponent of reported earnings of the firm issuing that security. 29Jan23 05The Information Approach to Decision Usefulness 33 Reasons
