| Tiivistelmä: | The authors show that network advantages constitute an important intangible asset that goes unrecognized in the financial statements. For a sample of e-commerce firms, the authors find that network advantages created by Web site traffic have substantial explanatory power for stock prices over and above traditional summary accounting measures such as earnings and book value of equity. Also, network advantages are positively associated with one-year-ahead and two-year-ahead earnings forecasts provided by equity analysts. When the authors allow network advantages to be endogenously determined by managerial actions, the authors find that at least part of the value relevance of network effects stems from the presence of affiliate referral programs and higher media visibility. |
