Book excerpt: Financial analysts play an important role in capital markets. Through the issuance of analysis reports, they facilitate the incorporation of costly private information into security prices, supporting the informational efficiency of financial markets. Thus, understanding their behavior has important implications for firms, investors, and policy makers. Despite decades of work, there are still many open questions regarding how financial analysts produce and how these reports are influenced by their working environment.In this dissertation, we attempt at contributing to the literature of analyst behavior and its effects on the capital market by addressing several new research questions. The first two papers of this thesis try to better understand the incentives behind the well-known analyst bias and identify new sources of bias. The third paper extends into an analysis of corporate governance and the role of financial analysts in alleviating information asymmetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance constitutes the internal and external institutions, markets, policies, and processes designed to help companies maximize their efficiency and value. In this collection of classic and current articles from the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, thought leaders such as Michael Jensen and Robert Monks discuss the corporate mission of value maximization and the accomplishments and limitations of the U.S. governance system in achieving that end. Essays address the elements driving corporate value: the board of directors, compensation for CEOs and other employees, incentives and organizational structure, external ownership and control, role of markets, and financial reporting. They evaluate best practice methods, challenges in designing equity plans, transferable stock options, the controversy over executive compensation, the values of decentralization, identifying and attracting the "right" investors, the evolution of shareholder activism, creating value through mergers and acquisitions, and the benefits of just saying no to Wall Street's "earnings game." Grounded in solid research and practice, U.S. Corporate Governance is a crucial companion for navigating the world of modern finance.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three essays regarding the value of various financial intermediaries in capital markets. In the first essay, we examine the value of hedge fund activists, conditional on a firm’s existing monitoring presence. Traditional corporate governance theory designates analysts and institutional investors as the primary external monitors of the firm, and therefore, hedge fund activists are more likely to add value when these forces are inadequate. Consistent with this hypothesis, in the two years following the arrival of a hedge fund activist, we find the greatest abnormal returns and changes in fundamentals to be taking place in low-monitored firms. In the second essay, we determine the impact that hedge fund activism has on the quality of analyst content and analyst ability. We find a preponderance of recommendations that move to or are reinstated at the Hold level following the arrival of a hedge fund activist. Furthermore, the predictive content of analyst recommendations and their ability to accurately forecast earnings is diminished in the presence of a hedge fund activist. Overall, the quality of the important functions of an analyst is reduced by the arrival of a hedge fund activist, questioning the degree of social good that Jensen and Meckling (1976) argue security analysts provide. In the third essay, I examine the profitability of analysts’ consensus recommendation level, conditional on a firm’s synchronicity. Roll (1988), and many others, conclude that low r-squared from standard factor models, sometimes called low synchronicity, coincides with a more efficient incorporation of firm-specific information into stock prices. Under this view, analyst recommendations issued to firms with low synchronicity should be more profitable, primarily because analysts disseminate firm-specific information. I find the consensus recommendation level of analysts to be more profitable for low synchronicity firms. Moreover, this enhanced profitability is present primarily in good economic times and only in the post Regulation Fair Disclosure time period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation comprises three papers examining several questions in finance and accounting. A common thread is investigating the strategic interactions between public firms and stock market investors. Chapter 1 studies how investors with short-term horizons can impact firms' behaviors. Chapters 2 and 3 examine the impact of corporate disclosure and the market pricing of information. In Chapter 1, I use the unique features of the margin trading system in China to identify the causal impact of transient investors on managerial myopia. Specifically, I employ a regression discontinuity design that exploits the ranking procedure that determines a stock's margin trading eligibility. I find that margin traders are extremely short-term oriented and cause a sharp increase in stock share turnover. Moreover, marginable firms cater to these transient investors by manipulating current earnings and reducing long-term investments. Consistent with managerial myopia, these firms experience a short-term price increase but a long-term decline in operating performance. Chapter 2 is joint work with John Hughes, Jun Liu, and Dan Yang. We reexamine the relation between disclosure indices and cost of equity capital employing an empirical specification similar to that of (botosan97) for a substantially larger sample over an extended time frame made possible by textual analysis. Our results provide no support for a hypothesis of a negative relation between disclosure indices and implied cost of equity capital. Rather, consistent with a bias of implied cost of equity capital as a proxy for expected return depicted by (Hughes2009) we find strong evidence of a positive relation. Chapter 3 is joint work with Yibin Liu. We exploit an earnings-based delisting policy and examine its adverse effect on investor trust in earnings news. Besides providing prominent visual evidence of large-scale earnings management at the required earnings threshold, we find that firms close to this threshold are trusted less by investors, regardless of whether they have manipulated earnings. Moreover, we provide causal evidence by studying firms that approach this threshold due to a plausibly exogenous profitability shock. Our results suggest that earnings-based regulations with harsh punishment may lead to a decline in investor trust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Brown is one of the most admired and respected accounting academics alive today. He was a pioneer in capital markets research in accounting, and his 1968 article, co-authored with Ray Ball, "An Empirical Evaluation of Accounting Income Numbers," arguably had a greater impact on the course of accounting research, directly and indirectly, than any other article during the second half of the twentieth century. Since that time, his innovative research has focused on issues that bridge accounting and finance, including the relationships between net profit reports and the stock market, the long-run performance of acquiring firms, statutory sanctions and voluntary corporate disclosure, and the politics and future of national accounting standards to name a few. This volume brings together the greatest hits of Brown’s career, including several articles that were published in out-of-the-way places, for easier use by students and researchers in the field. With a foreword written by Stephen A. Zeff, and an introduction that discusses the evolution of Brown’s research interests and explains the context for each of the essays included in the volume, this book offers the reader a unique look inside this remarkable 50-year career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, inspired by and dedicated to the work of pioneering investment analyst, Jack Treynor, addresses the issues of portfolio risk and return and how investment portfolios are measured. In a career spanning over fifty years, the primary questions addressed by Jack Treynor were: Is there an observable risk-return trade-off? How can stock selection models be integrated with risk models to enhance client returns? Do managed portfolios earn positive, and statistically significant, excess returns and can mutual fund managers time the market? Since the publication of a pair of seminal Harvard Business Review articles in the mid-1960’s, Jack Treynor has developed thinking that has greatly influenced security selection, portfolio construction and measurement, and market efficiency. Key publications addressed such topics as the Capital Asset Pricing Model and stock selection modeling and integration with risk models. Treynor also served as editor of the Financial Analysts Journal, through which he wrote many columns across a wide spectrum of topics. This volume showcases original essays by leading researchers and practitioners exploring the topics that have interested Treynor while applying the most current methodologies. Such topics include the origins of portfolio theory, market timing, and portfolio construction in equity markets. The result not only reinforces Treynor’s lasting contributions to the field but suggests new areas for research and analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate governance, the internal policies and leadership that guide the actions of corporations, played a major part in the recent global financial crisis. While much blame has been targeted at compensation arrangements that rewarded extreme risk-taking but did not punish failure, the performance of large, supposedly sophisticated institutional investors in this crisis has gone for the most part unexamined. Shareholding organizations, such as pension funds and mutual funds, hold considerable sway over the financial industry from Wall Street to the City of London. Corporate Governance Failures: The Role of Institutional Investors in the Global Financial Crisis exposes the misdeeds and lapses of these institutional investors leading up to the recent economic meltdown. In this collection of original essays, edited by pioneers in the field of fiduciary capitalism, top legal and financial practitioners and researchers discuss detrimental actions and inaction of institutional investors. Corporate Governance Failures reveals how these organizations exposed themselves and their clientele to extremely complex financial instruments, such as credit default swaps, through investments in hedge and private equity funds as well as more traditional equity investments in large financial institutions. The book's contributors critique fund executives for tolerating the "pursuit of alpha" culture that led managers to pursue risky financial strategies in hopes of outperforming the market. The volume also points out how and why institutional investors failed to effectively monitor such volatile investments, ignoring relatively well-established corporate governance principles and best practices. Along with detailed investigations of institutional investor missteps, Corporate Governance Failures offers nuanced and realistic proposals to mitigate future financial pitfalls. This volume provides fresh perspectives on ways institutional investors can best act as gatekeepers and promote responsible investment.
