Abstract: | This study deals with the investor protection. Based on data from more than 50,000 annual earnings announcements (hereafter as: a-e-annts.) in 26 countries, it is found that a-e-annts. are more informative (here as: inf-e.) in countries with higher quality earnings or better enforced insider trading laws, and that a-e-annts. are less inf-e. in countries with more frequent interim financial reporting. In addition, it is also found that on average a-e-annts. are more inf-e. in countries with strong investor protection institutions. |
