Abstract: | This study explores whether financial statement information (here as: ifmn.) in Denmark has become less value-relevant to investors over time. There is provided evidence from an accounting (as: acc.) system based on both EU acc. directives and an "economic-substance-over-legal-form" philosophy throughout the studied period. Overall, the results do not indicate that the value-relevance of accounting (as: v-r-of-acc.) ifmn. has decreased over the studied period (1983-2001). Rather, it is indicated that the v-r-of-acc. ifmn. is unchanged over the period. |
