Abstract:The study suggests a risk-based explanation for the accrual anomaly. A four-factor model motivated by the Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model is used to measure risk. To examine whether the accrual anomaly can be explained by the risk the paper uses a two-pass cross-sectional regression methodology. Tests of the model present that a considerable portion of the cross-sectional variation in average returns to high and low accrual firms is explained by risk. The four-factor model also seems to perform better than some other widely used models in pricing a number of different hedge portfolios.
