Early studies found modest market microstructure effects of removing the restrictions but no effect on short interest, stock returns, volatility, or price efficiency. More recently, many studies have attributed a wide range of indirect outcomes to this experiment, mostly without assessing the causal channels for those outcomes. We examine the three most often cited causal channels for these indirect effects: short interest, returns, and managerial fear. We find no evidence to support these channels. We then reexamine the principal findings in four recent studies using a sample that closely matches the actual experiment and a common research design and find minimal support for the reported indirect effects. Our findings highlight the importance of confirming a causal channel or an economic mechanism and show that sample selection and specification choices can produce statistical significance even without an underlying economic mechanism.This paper was accepted by David Sraer, finance.Supplemental Material: The internet appendix and data are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4918. }, author = {Black, Bernard S. and Desai, Hemang and Litvak, Katherine and Yoo, Woongsun and Yu, Jeff Jiewei}, date-added = {2024-08-27 09:11:40 +1000}, date-modified = {2024-08-27 09:12:01 +1000}, doi = {10.1287/mnsc.2023.4918}, eprint = {https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4918}, journal = {Management Science}, number = {8}, pages = {5131-5156}, title = {The SEC's Short-Sale Experiment: Evidence on Causal Channels and Reassessment of Indirect Effects}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4918}, volume = {70}, year = {2024}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4918}} @article{Armstrong:2021uo, abstract = {This paper reviews the empirical methods used in the accounting literature to draw causal inferences. Recent years have seen a burgeoning growth in the use of methods that seek to exploit as-if random variation in observational settings---i.e., ``quasi-experiments.'' We provide a synthesis of the major assumptions of these methods, discuss several practical considerations relevant to the application of these methods in the accounting literature, and provide a framework for thinking about whether and when quasi-experimental and non-experimental methods are well-suited for addressing causal questions of interest to accounting researchers. While there is growing interest in addressing causal questions within the literature, we caution against the idea that one should restrict attention to only those causal questions for which there are quasi-experiments. We offer a complementary approach for addressing causal questions that does not rely on the availability of a quasi-experiment, but rather relies on a combination of economic theory, developing and falsifying alternative explanations, triangulating results across multiple settings, measures, and research designs, and caveating results where appropriate.}, author = {Christopher Armstrong and John D.

violations, but whether there is a link between whistleblower involvement and the outcomes of enforcement actions is unclear. Using a data set of employee whistleblowing allegations obtained from the U.S. government and the universe of enforcement actions for financial misrepresentation, we find that whistleblower involvement is associated with higher monetary penalties for targeted firms and employees and with longer prison sentences for culpable executives. We also find that regulators more quickly begin enforcement proceedings when whistleblowers are involved. Our findings suggest that whistleblowers are a valuable source of information for regulators who investigate and prosecute financial misrepresentation.}, author = {Call, Andrew C. and Martin, Gerald S. and Sharp, Nathan Y. and Wilde, Jaron H.}, date-added = {2023-10-30 09:56:55 -0400}, date-modified = {2023-10-30 09:56:55 -0400}, doi = {10.1111/1475-679X.12177}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1475-679X.12177}, journal = {Journal of Accounting Research}, keywords = {G38, K22, K42, M40, M41, M48, whistleblowers, enforcement actions, fraud, penalties, financial reporting, Securities and Exchange Commission}, number = {1}, pages = {123-171}, title = {Whistleblowers and Outcomes of Financial Misrepresentation Enforcement Actions}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1475-679X.12177}, volume = {56}, year = {2018}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1475-679X.12177}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-679X.12177}} @article{Simmons:2011ux, author = {Simmons, Joseph P. and Nelson, Leif D. and Simonsohn, Uri}, date-added = {2023-08-16 09:31:06 +1000}, date-modified = {2023-08-16 09:31:06 +1000}, doi = {10.1177/0956797611417632}, eprint = {https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797611417632}, journal = {Psychological Science}, note = {PMID: 22006061}, number = {11}, pages = {1359-1366}, title = {False-Positive Psychology: Undisclosed Flexibility in Data Collection and Analysis Allows Presenting Anything as Significant}, volume = {22}, year = {2011}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797611417632}} @article{Hail:2018wo, author = {Hail, Luzi and Tahoun, Ahmed and Wang, Clare}, date-added = {2023-08-16 09:26:38 +1000}, date-modified = {2023-08-16 09:26:38 +1000}, doi = {10.1111/1475-679X.12201}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1475-679X.12201}, journal = {Journal of Accounting Research}, keywords = {F30, G18, G38, K22, L51, M48, N20, accounting fraud, corporate scandals, capital market regulation, economics of regulation, law and finance, international accounting}, number = {2}, pages = {617-671}, title = {Corporate Scandals and Regulation}, volume = {56}, year = {2018}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1475-679X.12201}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-679X.12201}} @article{Li:2018vh, abstract = {ABSTRACT Many service organizations rely on information sharing systems to boost employee creativity to meet customer needs. We conducted a field experiment in a retail chain, based on a registered report accepted by JAR, to test whether an information sharing system recording employees' creative work affected the quality of creative work, job engagement, and financial performance. We found that, on average, this system did not have a significant effect on any of these outcomes. However, it significantly improved the quality of creative work in stores that had accessed the system more frequently and in stores with fewer same-company nearby stores. It also improved creative work and job engagement in stores in divergent markets, where customers needed more customization. We found weak evidence of better financial results where salespeople had lower creative talent before the system was introduced. Our findings shed light on those conditions in which information sharing systems affect employees' creative work.}, author = {Li, Shelley Xin and Sandino, Tatiana}, date-added = {2023-08-16 09:26:02

A decline in the size of the accrual mispricing signal, as measured by the magnitude of extreme decile accruals and the relative persistence of cash flows and accruals, may also play a (weaker) role.

Our primary finding is that studies using a balance sheet approach to test for earnings management are potentially contaminated by measurement error in accruals estimates. In particular, if the partitioning variable used to indicate the presence of earnings management is correlated with the occurrence of mergers and acquisitions or discontinued operations, tests are biased and researchers are likely to erroneously conclude that earnings management exists when there is none. Additional results show that the errors in balance sheet accruals estimation can confound returns regressions where discretionary and non-discretionary accruals are used as explanatory variables.

Subsamples are required to be nonsingular. Usually, discarding a singular subsample and drawing a new one leads to a sufficient number of nonsingular subsamples with a reasonable computational effort. However, this procedure can require so many subsamples that it becomes infeasible, especially if levels of categorical variables have low frequency. A subsampling algorithm called nonsingular subsampling is presented, which generates only nonsingular subsamples. When no singular subsamples occur, nonsingular subsampling is as fast as the simple algorithm, and if singular subsamples do occur, it maintains the same computational order. The algorithm works consistently, unless the full design matrix is singular. The method is based on a modified LU decomposition algorithm that combines sample generation with solving the least squares problem. The algorithm may also be useful for ordinary bootstrapping. Since the method allows for S estimation in designs with factors and interactions between factors and continuous regressors, we study properties of the resulting estimators, both in the sense of their dependence on the randomness of the sampling and of their statistical performance.}, author = {Koller, Manuel and Stahel, Werner A.}, da = {2017/06/01}, date-added = {2023-01-25 16:18:48 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 16:18:48 -0500}, doi = {10.1007/s00180-016-0679-x}, id = {Koller2017}, isbn = {1613-9658}, journal = {Computational Statistics}, number = {2}, pages = {631--646}, title = {Nonsingular subsampling for regression {S} estimators with categorical predictors}, ty = {JOUR}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00180-016-0679-x}, volume = {32}, year = {2017}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00180-016-0679-x}} @article{Kothari:2001tr, abstract = {{I review empirical research on the relation between capital markets and financial statements.

However, contrary to the perception in the accounting literature, the exclusion of variables from the MT's forecasting and pricing equations leads to an omitted variables problem that affects inferences about the rational pricing of accounting variables. Only if the omitted variables are rationally priced is their exclusion irrelevant. Failure to recognize this issue leads accounting researchers to employ the MT without appreciating how omitted variables affect the inferences they draw. We demonstrate that when additional explanatory variables are included in the MT, the rational pricing of accruals is not rejected. That is, the accrual anomaly documented in Sloan [1996] vanishes when additional explanatory variables are incorporated into the MT. We also show that in accounting research settings, where samples are large, ordinary least squares (OLS) is equivalent to the MT. As a result, accounting researchers should consider using OLS or be more explicit about the exact advantages of the MT over OLS in their research setting.}, author = {Kraft, Arthur and Leone, Andrew J. and Wasley, Charles E.}, date-added = {2023-01-25 16:12:11 -0500}, date-modified = {2024-02-07 17:07:53 -0500}, doi = {10.1111/j.1475-679X.2007.00261.x}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2007.00261.x}, journal = {Journal of Accounting Research}, number = {5}, pages = {1081-1114}, title = {Regression-Based Tests of the Market Pricing of Accounting Numbers: The {M}ishkin Test and Ordinary Least Squares}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2007.00261.x}, volume = {45}, year = {2007}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2007.00261.x}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2007.00261.x}} @book{Kreps:1990vo, author = {Kreps, David M.}, date-added = {2023-01-25 16:12:11 -0500}, date-modified = {2024-08-30 13:18:03 +1000}, isbn = {9780691215747}, publisher = {Princeton University Press}, title = {A Course in Microeconomic Theory}, year = {1990}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://books.google.com/books?id=voHoDwAAQBAJ}} @article{Larcker:2007aa, author = {Larcker, David F. and Richardson, Scott A and Tuna, \.{I}rem}, date-added = {2023-01-25 16:12:11 -0500}, date-modified = {2024-08-30 14:45:59 +1000}, doi = {10.2308/accr.2007.82.4.963}, journal = {The Accounting Review}, month = July, number = {4}, pages = {963--1008}, title = {Corporate Governance, Accounting Outcomes, and Organizational Performance}, volume = {82}, year = {2007}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://www.jstor.org/stable/30243484}} @article{Larcker:2010fq, abstract = {Instrumental variable (IV) methods are commonly used in accounting research (e.g., earnings management, corporate governance, executive compensation, and disclosure research) when the regressor variables are endogenous.

Using these matching models, we find that the effects of Big 4 auditors are insignificantly different from those of non-Big 4 auditors with respect to the three audit-quality proxies. Our results suggest that differences in these proxies between Big 4 and non-Big 4 auditors largely reflect client characteristics and, more specifically, client size.

We compare the efficacy of winsorization, truncation, influence diagnostics (Cook's Distance), and robust regression at identifying influential observations. Replication of three published accounting studies shows that the choice impacts estimates and inferences. Simulation evidence shows that winsorization and truncation are ineffective at identifying influential observations. While influence diagnostics and robust regression both outperform winsorization and truncation, overall, robust regression outperforms the other methods.

This literature provides important insights for understanding the relevance of financial reporting. In this article, we summarize the theory and evidence on how accounting earnings information relates to firms' stock returns, particularly for the benefit of students, practitioners, and others who may not yet have been exposed to this literature. In addition, we present new empirical evidence on the relation between earnings and returns by replicating and extending three classic studies using data from 1988 through 2002. Specifically, we first demonstrate the relation between earnings changes and stock returns, replicating Ball and Brown (1968), and we compare that relation to the relation between changes in cash flows from operations and stock returns. Second, we demonstrate the impact of earnings persistence on stock returns, extending findings from studies such as Kormendi and Lipe (1987), and highlighting the effects of differences in persistence across earnings increases and decreases. Third, we provide evidence to assess the efficiency with which the capital markets impound quarterly earnings information into share prices, showing that the post‐earnings‐announcement‐drift results of Bernard and Thomas (1989) extend to recent data.}}, author = {Nichols, D.

Second, the models all generate tests of low power for earnings management of economically plausible magnitudes (e.g., one to five percent of total assets). Third, all models reject the null hypothesis of no earnings management at rates exceeding the specified test-levels when applied to samples of firms with extreme financial performance.

We derive an empirical measure of accrual quality as the residuals from firm‐specific regressions of changes in working capital on past, present, and future operating cash flows.

I predict and find that risk asymmetry is caused, at least in part, by a firm's ability to selectively obfuscate poor performance. Risk asymmetry decreases significantly when firms are required to adhere to the more stringent auditing standards mandated under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, however this decrease is more muted for firms with weak internal controls. Consistent with my predictions, these patterns are stronger for more market-sensitive firms and weaker for firms that include relative performance evaluation in their CEOs' pay packages. Taken together with prior literature (which documents that risk asymmetry is priced), my results suggest that a firm can lower its cost of capital by credibly reducing its ability to obfuscate value-relevant information.}, author = {Bloomfield, Matthew J.}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:51:09 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:51:09 -0500}, doi = {10.1111/1475-679X.12346}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/1475-679X.12346}, journal = {Journal of Accounting Research}, keywords = {reporting quality, obfuscation, asymmetric risk, Sarbanes-Oxley, internal controls}, number = {3}, pages = {867-910}, title = {The Asymmetric Effect of Reporting Flexibility on Priced Risk}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1475-679X.12346}, volume = {59}, year = {2021}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/1475-679X.12346}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-679X.12346}} @article{Boone:2015wi, author = {Boone, Audra L. and White, Joshua T.}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:51:09 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:51:09 -0500}, doi = {10.1016/j.jfineco.2015.05.008}, issn = {0304-405X}, journal = {Journal of Financial Economics}, keywords = {Institutional investors, Indexing, Information asymmetry, Voluntary disclosure, Earnings forecasts}, number = {3}, pages = {508 - 533}, title = {The effect of institutional ownership on firm transparency and information production}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304405X15000914}, volume = {117}, year = {2015}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304405X15000914}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfineco.2015.05.008}} @article{Bratten:2013vy, abstract = {We provide evidence that disclosed items are not processed differently from recognized items when the disclosures are salient, not based on management estimates, and amenable to simple techniques for imputing as-if recognized amounts.

We find that the likelihood of accelerated vesting is higher if (1) acceleration has a greater effect on future ESO compensation expense, especially related to underwater options, and (2) firms suffer greater agency problems, proxied by fewer blockholders, lower pension fund ownership, and top five officers holding a greater share of ESOs.

The R2, which averages approximately 5\% to 9\%, measures the proportion of total information incorporated in share prices annually that is associated with earnings announcements. We conclude that the average quarterly announcement is associated with approximately 1\% to 2\% of total annual information, thus providing a modest but not overwhelming amount of incremental information to the market. The results are consistent with the view that the primary economic role of reported earnings is not to provide timely new information to the share market. By inference, that role lies elsewhere, for example, in settling debt and compensation contracts and in disciplining prior information, including more timely managerial disclosures of information originating in the firm's accounting system. The relative informativeness of earnings announcements is a concave function of size. Increased information during earnings-announcement windows in recent years is due only in part to increased concurrent releases of management forecasts. There is no evidence of abnormal information arrival in the weeks surrounding earnings announcements.

We also describe the background to the original paper and its research design, and offer observations on its interpretation, its impact on the literature and practice, some negative consequences, and its relation to papers published around the same time. One of the pleasing attributes of our original paper is that its results consistently replicate, the implication being that the research design and its implementation uncovered a universal relation between accounting earnings and changes in firm values. The current replication is in two dimensions: time; and geography, with an emphasis on Pacific Basin countries. In the USA and in a selection of 16 other countries, annual accounting earnings continue to contain a large proportion of the information that investors trade into share prices over the year, though not in a timely fashion. Post earnings announcement drift, the first acknowledged share market anomaly, continues today despite being reported five decades ago. One change is that reporting lags internationally have shortened on average and their range has narrowed. A notable change in USA data is that the proportion of the information incorporated in share prices that is contemporaneously incorporated in annual accounting earnings has declined, though the conclusions we draw from this decline are more cautious than in Lev and Gu (2016).}, author = {Ball, Ray and Brown, Philip}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, doi = {10.1016/j.pacfin.2018.12.008}, issn = {0927-538X}, journal = {Pacific-Basin Finance Journal}, keywords = {Anomaly, Ball and Brown (1968), Earnings, EPS, Event study, Income numbers, Market efficiency, PEAD, Replication, Research design, Stock returns, Timeliness, Value relevance}, pages = {410 - 431}, title = {{B}all and {B}rown (1968) after fifty years}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927538X18306395}, volume = {53}, year = {2019}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927538X18306395}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pacfin.2018.12.008}} @article{Bamber:2000wv, abstract = {{We show that the community of accounting researchers has not fully appreciated the sensitivity of research conclusions to (necessarily) subjective research design choices, and that this failure has led to the subsequent overgeneralization of early evidence. Our analysis is based on a case study that examines the effects of two basic research design choices, and subsequent researchers' appreciation of the impact of those choices. To enhance our study's accessibility to a broad cross-section of the accounting research community, our case study focuses on an article that is covered in most accounting doctoral programs --- the recipient of the second American Accounting Association ``Seminal Contribution to Accounting Literature Award'' --- Beaver's 1968 article on the information content of annual earnings announcements [Beaver, W. (1968). The information content of annual earnings announcements. Empirical research in accounting; selected studies, 1968. Supplement to Journal of Accounting Research, 6, 67--92.] Our analysis reveals that the research design choices in Beaver's study significantly affected the results. Beaver clearly explained these choices, and was careful in drawing inferences. Nevertheless, subsequent researchers interpreted Beaver's evidence too broadly. Our new empirical evidence suggests that the information content inference is much more fragile than is generally suspected. We also present citation analyses showing that, consistent with the Kuhnian view that adherents of a paradigm tend to ignore (later) anomalous evidence, subsequent researchers largely overlooked post-Beaver evidence that was inconsistent with the paradigm's interpretation of Beaver's results. The paper concludes with a brief consideration of how cognitive biases of individuals, combined with biases inherent in the review process and the academy in general, foster an environment where the placement of the first research bricks affect the whole wall. While the case study focuses on an archival empirical financial accounting study, consideration of the effects of subjective research design choices and the documented deficiencies in the interpretation of research are relevant to empirical accounting researchers in general and to critical theorists, as well. While accounting scholars `think we understand' the impact of research design choices, the evidence presented here suggests that we have collectively failed to apply this understanding in practice. Such failure delays the acquisition of knowledge. This study provides a salient demonstration indicating that we must constantly remain on guard to recognize the subjective nature of research design choices, to consider the likely effects of those choices, and to be cautious in drawing generalizations.}}, author = {Bamber, Linda Smith and Christensen, Theodore E. and Gaver, Kenneth M.}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, doi = {10.1016/S0361-3682(99)00027-6}, issn = {0361-3682}, journal = {Accounting, Organizations and Society}, month = {02}, number = {2}, pages = {103--129}, title = {Do we really `know' what we think we know?

We focus on the decision to appoint either a family or external chief executive officer (CEO). The paper uses variation in CEO succession decisions that result from the gender of a departing CEO's firstborn child. This is a plausible instrumental variable (IV), as male first-child firms are more likely to pass on control to a family CEO than are female first-child firms, but the gender of the first child is unlikely to affect firms' outcomes. We find that family successions have a large negative causal impact on firm performance: operating profitability on assets falls by at least four percentage points around CEO transitions. Our IV estimates are significantly larger than those obtained using ordinary least squares. Furthermore, we show that family-CEO underperformance is particularly large in fast-growing industries, industries with highly skilled labor force, and relatively large firms. Overall, our empirical results demonstrate that professional, nonfamily CEOs provide extremely valuable services to the organizations they head.}}, author = {Bennedsen, Morten and Nielsen, Kasper Meisner and Perez-Gonzalez, Francisco and Wolfenzon, Daniel}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, doi = {10.1162/qjec.122.2.647}, eprint = {https://academic.oup.com/qje/article-pdf/122/2/647/5470164/122-2-647.pdf}, issn = {0033-5533}, journal = {The Quarterly Journal of Economics}, month = {05}, number = {2}, pages = {647-691}, title = {Inside the Family Firm: The Role of Families in Succession Decisions and Performance}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1162/qjec.122.2.647}, volume = {122}, year = {2007}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://doi.org/10.1162/qjec.122.2.647}} @article{Bernard:1989uu, author = {Bernard, Victor L. and Thomas, Jacob K.}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, doi = {10.2307/2491062}, issn = {00218456, 1475679X}, journal = {Journal of Accounting Research}, pages = {1--36}, publisher = {[Accounting Research Center, Booth School of Business, University of Chicago, Wiley]}, title = {Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift: Delayed Price Response or Risk Premium?}, url = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/2491062}, volume = {27}, year = {1989}, bdsk-url-1 = {http://www.jstor.org/stable/2491062}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.2307/2491062}} @unpublished{Bernard:1994tm, author = {Bernard, Victor L. and Schipper, Katherine}, date-added = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, date-modified = {2023-01-25 15:44:36 -0500}, month = {November}, note = {Working paper, University of Michigan}, title = {Recognition and Disclosure in Financial Reporting}, year = {1994}} @article{Bertrand:2003tg, abstract = {{This paper investigates whether and how individual managers affect corporate behavior and performance.

A significant extent of the heterogeneity in investment, financial, and organizational practices of firms can be explained by the presence of manager fixed effects. We identify specific patterns in managerial decision-making that appear to indicate general differences in ``style'' across managers. Moreover, we show that management style is significantly related to manager fixed effects in performance and that managers with higher performance fixed effects receive higher compensation and are more likely to be found in better governed firms. In a final step, we tie back these findings to observable managerial characteristics.

We employ one of the most powerful machine learning methods, ensemble learning, rather than the commonly used method of logistic regression. To assess the performance of fraud prediction models, we introduce a new performance evaluation metric commonly used in ranking problems that is more appropriate for the fraud prediction task. Starting with an identical set of theory-motivated raw accounting numbers, we show that our new fraud prediction model outperforms two benchmark models by a large margin: the Dechow et al. logistic regression model based on financial ratios, and the Cecchini et al. support-vector-machine model with a financial kernel that maps raw accounting numbers into a broader set of ratios.}, author = {Bao, Yang and Ke, Bin and Li, Bin and Yu, Y.

Quantitative consideration is also given to practical issues in the design of repeated measures studies: the merits of having more than one pre-treatment measurement are demonstrated, and methods for determining sample sizes in repeated measures designs are provided. Several examples from clinical trials are presented, and broad practical recommendations are made. The examples support the value of the compound symmetry assumption as a realistic simplification in quantitative planning of repeated measures trials.

With the combination of unreported tests, lack of adjustment for multiple tests, and direct and indirect p-hacking, many of the results being published will fail to hold up in the future. In addition, there are basic issues with the interpretation of statistical significance. Increasing thresholds may be necessary, but still may not be sufficient: if the effect being studied is rare, even t > 3 will produce a large number of false positives. Here I explore the meaning and limitations of a p-value. I offer a simple alternative (the minimum Bayes factor). I present guidelines for a robust, transparent research culture in financial economics. Finally, I offer some thoughts on the importance of risk-taking (from the perspective of authors and editors) to advance our field. SUMMARY Empirical research in financial economics relies too much on p-values, which are poorly understood in the first place. Journals want to publish papers with positive results and this incentivizes researchers to engage in data mining and ``p-hacking.'' The outcome will likely be an embarrassing number of false positives---effects that will not be repeated in the future. The minimum Bayes factor (which is a function of the p-value) combined with prior odds provides a simple solution that can be reported alongside the usual p-value. The Bayesianized p-value answers the question: What is the probability that the null is true? The same technique can be used to answer: What threshold of t-statistic do I need so that there is only a 5\% chance that the null is true? The threshold depends on the economic plausibility of the hypothesis.}, author = {Harvey, Campbell R.}, date-added = {2022-05-17 10:03:10 -0400}, date-modified = {2022-09-29 13:45:03 +1000}, doi = {10.1111/jofi.12530}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/jofi.12530}, journal = {The Journal of Finance}, number = {4}, pages = {1399-1440}, title = {Presidential Address: The Scientific Outlook in Financial Economics}, volume = {72}, year = {2017}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jofi.12530}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/jofi.12530}} @article{Diether:2009vu, abstract = {ABSTRACT We examine the effects of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-mandated temporary suspension of short-sale price tests for a set of Pilot securities.

These results indicate that short selling, or its prospect, curbs earnings management, helps detect fraud, and improves price efficiency.}, author = {Fang, Vivian W. and Huang, Allen H. and Karpoff, Jonathan M.}, date-added = {2022-04-21 16:13:12 -0400}, date-modified = {2022-09-29 13:45:03 +1000}, doi = {10.1111/jofi.12369}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/jofi.12369}, journal = {The Journal of Finance}, number = {3}, pages = {1251-1294}, title = {Short Selling and Earnings Management: A Controlled Experiment}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jofi.12369}, volume = {71}, year = {2016}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jofi.12369}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/jofi.12369}} @article{Chhaochharia:2007aa, abstract = {ABSTRACT The 2001 to 2002 corporate scandals led to the Sarbanes--Oxley Act and to various amendments to the U.S. stock exchanges' regulations.

Investors lobbied overwhelmingly in favor of strict implementation of SOX, while corporate insiders and business groups lobbied against strict implementation. We identify firms most affected by the law as those whose insiders lobbied against strict implementation. Such firms appear to be characterized by agency problems, rather than motivated by concerns over compliance costs. Cumulative stock returns during the five and a half months leading up to SOX passage were approximately 7\% higher for corporations whose insiders lobbied against SOX disclosure-related provisions than for similar non-lobbying firms, consistent with an expectation that SOX would reduce agency problems. Analysis of returns in the post-passage implementation period suggests that investors' positive expectations with regards to the effects of these provisions were warranted.}, author = {Hochberg, Yael V. and Sapienza, Paola and Vissing-J{\o}rgensen, Annette}, date-added = {2023-04-11 16:14:20 +1000}, date-modified = {2023-04-11 16:22:03 +1000}, doi = {10.1111/j.1475-679X.2009.00321.x}, eprint = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2009.00321.x}, journal = {Journal of Accounting Research}, number = {2}, pages = {519-583}, title = {A Lobbying Approach to Evaluating the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2009.00321.x}, volume = {47}, year = {2009}, bdsk-url-1 = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2009.00321.x}, bdsk-url-2 = {https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-679X.2009.00321.x}} @article{Patell:1984aa, abstract = {This paper examines the effects of Broad Tape news releases of earnings and dividend announcements on three aspects of intraday stock price behavior: mean returns, return variance, and serial correlation in consecutive price changes. The initial price reaction is evident in the first pair of price changes following the release (i.e., within a few minutes, at most). The returns earned by simple trading rules dissipate within five to ten minutes, although significant returns are detected in the overnight period and at the opening of trading on the next day. Disturbances in the variance and serial correlation persist for several hours and extend into the following trading day.
