Abstract: | Research into accounting risk-return relations largely relied on reference-based models of managerial choice. Our study extends prior research by incorporating agency theory and implicit contracts theory into models based on the behavioral theory of the firm. We test our hypotheses in a large sample of US manufacturing firms in two different economic environments. |
