共同机构所有权影响企业前瞻性信息披露吗?——基于上市公司业绩预告准确度的视角

Does Common Institutional Ownership Influence Forward-looking Information Disclosure?Based on the Perspective of Performance Forecast Accuracy

本文基于2009—2019年A股上市公司样本,探讨了共同机构所有权对上市公司业绩预告准确度的影响。研究发现,共同机构所有权提高了上市公司业绩预告准确度。其作用机制在于,共同机构所有权通过降低管理层和股东之间的代理成本、提高会计信息可比性,进而提升了上市公司业绩预告准确度,发挥了监督治理效应和协同效应。进一步分析发现,共同机构所有权对上市公司业绩预告准确度的治理作用在国有产权与非“四大”审计的样本中更为显著。本文研究为共同机构所有权的公司治理效应和完善业绩预告监管制度提供了经验证据。
