A Study of the Threshold Values of Earnings Management of China’s Listed Companies: from the Perspective of Prospect Theory

Abstract

文章从前景理论的视角对我国上市公司为了追求和超越市场阈值与政策阈值而实施的盈余管理行为进行研究,发现前景理论能较好的解释各种阈值两侧管理层的风险态度以及风险和收益之间的权衡关系,同时也检验了前景理论在我国的适用性。From the perspective of prospect theory,this paper tries to study the earnings management behavior carried out by the listed companies in China to seek and surpass the market threshold value and policy threshold value.It is found that the prospect theory can rationally interpret the risk attitude of the management on both sides of every threshold value and the trade-off relationship between risk and profit.At the same time,it is verified that the prospect theory is applicable in China.国家自然科学基金项目(70872096);教育部人文社会科学重点研究基地基金资助项目(05JJD630008
