摘要
自愿性信息披露作为管理层的内生决策,不仅取决于公司内部激励因素,还受制于市场竞争环境。选择性信息披露动机研究中多以专有性成本为基础理论,大部分研究集中在是否披露上,而本文主要研究竞争环境能否提高业绩预告质量?什么因素导致适度竞争不能激励预测性信息质量的提高?由于我国业绩预告制度具有半强制性,本文选择从预告精度、准确度上观测管理层自愿性披露动机。研究发现,竞争程度越强,管理层业绩预告精度与准确性越高,而经济政策的不确定性对两者的关系起到了弱化的作用。研究结论得出的提示:一是竞争与自愿性信息披露的关系研究需要加入间接影响因素,本文为目前专有性成本理论框架下竞争与自愿性信息披露之间的负相关提供了新的解释;二是经济政策的不确定性增加了管理层对未来的预判难度,影响了竞争在提高自愿性信息披露质量方面所发挥的作用,因此,政策制定者应尽可能减少出台不确定性政策,才有利于缓解资本市场信息不对称。
