摘要
真实盈余管理具有难以准确计量的特征,Roychowdhury(2006)提出的真实盈余管理模型虽然实现了在大样本中对真实盈余管理行为的计量,但模型的前提假定过于简单,可能存在遗漏变量而导致计量偏误。本文基于战略管理理论提出企业的战略定位、资源与能力是决定企业经营活动水平的重要因素,是真实盈余管理模型可能遗漏的因子。基于此,本文从这三个维度遴选变量对Roychowdhury(2006)的传统模型进行了改进,运用多种方法进行检验后发现:遴选的遗漏变量能显著影响传统模型的计量偏误,改进后的模型显著提升了对企业正常经营活动水平的解释能力,降低了第一类错误和第二类错误水平。最后,运用改进模型重新检验部分重点期刊上真实盈余管理文献的结论,发现大部分结论不再成立。
Real earnings management is difficult to be accurately measured.Although the model proposed by Roychowdhury(2006)allows measuring real earnings management in large samples,the overly simple underlying assumptions of the model might lead to measurement bias due to omitted variables.Based on the strategic management theory,we argue that strategic positioning,resources,and capability are the important factors that determine the level of business operations,which might be omitted from the traditional real earnings management model.Therefore,this study aims to modify Roychowdhury’s(2006)real earnings management model by including variables from the abovementioned three dimensions.We employ various methods to test the efficiency of the improved model and find that the omitted variables significantly affect the measurement bias of the traditional model.The modified model does a better job at capturing the firm’s operation level,as well as reduces the Type-Ⅰand Type-Ⅱerrors.Finally,we replicate the existing research on real earnings management published on the top domestic journals using the modified model,and find that most findings are no longer valid.
