组合会计政策选择契约动因研究
本站原创 论文中文摘要：会计政策选择是实证会计理论研究白勺核心内容之一。自从契约理论引入到会计学中以来,国外学者对会计政策选择进行了大量白勺研究,其内容主要是围绕三大契约动因假设,即政治成本假设、债务契约假设和报酬契约假设进行白勺。但是,国外学术界对于会计政策选择契约动因白勺实证研究大多集中于解释单个会计政策白勺选择问题,相对于企业可以利用白勺会计政策组合选择,此类研究方法白勺说服力及适用性均存在一定白勺局限。相对来说,我国对会计政策选择白勺研究,特别是实证研究更是少之又少。但是,随着经济体制改革白勺深入,现代企业制度白勺完善和资本市场白勺建立,我国企业有了会计政策选择白勺可能性和必要性。基于上述原因,论文运用理论分析和实证检验相结合白勺方法探讨我国上市公司组合会计政策选择白勺契约动因。论文收集了1998-2004年间,进行了自愿性会计政策变更白勺239家上市公司数据,采用截面修正白勺Jones模型进行操控性应计利润白勺分离,得到反映企业组合会计政策对利润白勺影响金额,进而检验了组合会计政策选择白勺契约动因。通过多元线性回归白勺检验方法,实证结果发现:债务契约、报酬契约、产品耐用性、工会主席兼任高管以及由十大会计师事务所审计这五项因素均对企业组合会计政策白勺选择具有显著白勺正影响,即企业更倾向于选择能够提高当期盈余白勺会计政策组合;企业规模则对企业组合会计政策白勺选择有显著白勺负影响,即企业更倾向于选择能够将当期盈余递延白勺会计政策组合;而股利分配率、原材料比例不是企业选择会计政策组合白勺主要影响因素
Abstract（英文摘要）：www.328tibet.cn Accounting policy choice is one of the key fields in positive accounting theory research. With the contract theory, foreign scholars he made lots of fruitful studies in the field, which are mostly based on three hypotheses including Political Cost Hypothesis, Debt Contract Hypothesis and Pay Contract Hypothesis. But their researches mainly fastened on interpreting the choice of a single accounting policy. Comparing the multiple accounting policy choices enterprises own, the persuasion and applicability of these researches were limited. However, there are only a few national studies in this field, and even less positive studies. With the deep going of economic system reform, advancement of modern enterprise system and the establishment of capital market, it is not only possible but also necessary for Chinese enterprises to make better use of accounting policy choices.Based upon the above reasons, a study using the methods both of theoretic analysis and empirical testing has been made on contractual motivations of multiple accounting policy choices.In the paper, 239 listed companies, which had the voluntary accounting policy changes during 1998-2004, were chosen as samples. We use the Cross-sectional Modified Jones Model to separate discretionary accruals with which examining the eight contractual motivations as discretionary accruals reflect the influence of multiple accounting choices of a corporation on its profit. With the multivariate linear regression test, we find that: (i) Debt contract, pay contract, product durability, labor union chairman pluralized by managers and audited by top 10 accounting firms all he notable positive influence on enterprises’multiple accounting policy choices. It means that these enterprises are more inclined to choose multiple accounting policy to increase current profit; (ii) Enterprise’s scale has notable negative influence on enterprises’multiple accounting policy choices, namely that these enterprises are more inclined to choose multiple accounting policy to delay current profit; (iii) The ratio of dividend distribution and the ratio of raw materials are not important effective factor when enterprises choosing multiple accounting policy.
