| Abstract: | This paper explores whether consolidated earnings (henceforth as: erngs.) are managed to a greater extent than parent-only (here as: p-o.) erngs. or vice versa in aiming to exceed the threshold in Japanese firms. It is found that erngs. management to avoid erngs. decreases is more pronounced in p-o. erngs. for the period from 1980 to 1999. Among others, it is also found that the management of p-o. erngs. has been less pervasive following the introduction of the new consolidated reporting system in Mar, 2000. |
