退市制度变革对上市公司盈余管理行为影响

The Influence of Delisting System Reform on Earnings Management Behavior of Listed Companies

本文选取2010～2014年沪深主板A股上市公司为研究样本,采用倾向得分匹配法和双重差分法,检验了2012年我国退市制度变革对公司应计和真实盈余管理行为的影响。研究发现:退市制度变革没有显著影响公司应计盈余管理行为,但显著抑制了其真实盈余管理行为,主要是降低了公司生产操控和费用操控行为;从退市细化指标看,净利润仍是上市公司触及的主要退市指标,是影响公司盈余管理行为的主要因素,新增退市指标尚未发挥显著影响作用。研究结果表明,退市新规对真实盈余管理治理效应显著,但对应计盈余管理的制度制约和诱导作用同时存在,导致治理效应不显著,应进一步消除制度诱导因素,压缩*ST公司规避退市中的非经常性应计项目弹性空间。
