| Abstract: | International differences in the demand for accounting income predictably affect the way it incorporates economic income (change in market value) over time. The authors characterize the "shareholder" and "stakeholder" corporate governance models of common and code law countries respectively as resolving information asymmetry by public disclosure and private communication. Also, code law directly links accounting income to current payouts (to employees, managers, shareholders and governments). |
