| Abstract: | Comparative studies on earnings (hereafter as: erngs.) conservatism in Europe have failed to identify significant differences btw. common-law (here as: cm-l.) and code-law (cd-l.) based countries. It is argued in this paper that in cd-l. based countries managers have incentives to reduce erngs. consistently. This enhances the association btw. erngs. and returns in bad news periods. It is found that after controlling for discretionary accruals, the differential erngs. response to bad news in Germany and France decreases significantly. |
