Tiivistelmä: | A recent and influential empirical paper by Francis, LaFond, Olsson and Schipper (hereafter as: FLOS) (2005. The market pricing of accruals quality. Journal of Accounting and Economics 39, 295-327) concludes that accruals quality (hereafter as: AQ) is a priced risk factor. This study explains that FLOS' regressions that examine a contemporaneous relation between excess returns and factor returns do not test the hypothesis that AQ is a priced factor. The paper conducts appropriate asset-pricing tests for determining whether a potential risk factor explains expected returns. It finds no evidence that AQ is a priced risk factor. |
