Item type:Publication, Cross-Border Investments in Private Firms: The Benefits of Comparability for Foreign InvestorsWe examine whether the mandated convergence of local German Generally Accepted Accounting Principles with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) increases investment by foreign equity investors in German private firms. Exploiting a large-sample quasi-experimental setting, we document an average foreign ownership increase of 2%–8% in firms affected by the accounting reform compared with our unaffected control firms. Based on our identification strategy, using both the unique setting and accounting system comparability (that is, the comparability of cash flows in the next period), we show that increased comparability can minimize challenges faced by investors in private firms. We also find that those investors more familiar with IFRS benefit more from the increased accounting comparability. In addition, the effect is stronger for firms with higher proprietary costs before the mandatory accounting comparability increase. Our findings are robust to alternative matching procedures and a placebo test. We provide evidence for ongoing discussions on the costs of separate accounting standards for private firms. We show significant benefits when private firms’ accounting becomes more (and not less) comparable to that of public firms.Type:journal articleJournal:Management Science - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, IRS Scrutiny and Corporate Innovation(Wiley, 2020-11); ;Goldman, Nathan ;Lampenius, Niklas ;Radhakrishnan, SureshFeres de Almeida, Jose EliasThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) administers tax laws enacted by Congress. As part of the IRS’s duties, they often consider taxpayers’ financial statements to help ensure accurate tax reporting and payments. We posit that enhanced financial statement disclosures of tax information under FASB Interpretation Number 48 (FIN 48) lead to more IRS scrutiny and alter the incentives for corporate innovation. Using patent applications as a measure of corporate innovation, we employ a difference-in-difference research design with publicly listed U.S. firms as the treatment group and privately held U.S. firms not subject to the disclosure requirements as the control group. We find robust evidence that following the onset of FIN 48, the number of patent applications by publicly listed firms decreased by 15.4% to 24.3% relative to private firms. This decline in patent applications is attributable to incremental innovation, suggesting that firms lower innovation related to projects with tax benefits that are more likely to be scrutinized by the taxing authorities. These findings suggest that there are real effects of IRS scrutiny and, in particular, real effects of tax disclosures under FIN 48 on corporate innovation.Type:journal articleJournal:Contemporary Accounting ResearchVolume:Forthcoming - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
