We examine how often and why some audit partners rotate off client engagements before the end of the maximum five-year cycle period. Specifically, we investigate whether audit quality issues play a role for engagement partners and clients to separate prematurely. For a sample of about 4,000 within-audit firm partner rotations for Big 6 clients over the 2008 to 2014 period, we find that client characteristics such as financial leverage or performance have little explanatory power. In contrast, severe audit quality issues such as financial restatements or PCAOB inspection findings are associated with early partner rotations. These associations are more pronounced for early rotations that are not explained by scheduled retirements, promotions, or temporary leaves as well as for large clients and when partners are less experienced. We also find that female partners have a higher likelihood of early rotation for audit quality reasons. Early rotations have career consequences. Partners are assigned to fewer SEC issuer clients, manage fewer audit hours, receive lower partner ratings, and are more likely to be internally inspected after being rotated early. Our results suggest that audit quality concerns are an important factor for early partner rotations with ensuing negative career consequences for partners’ client assignments and management responsibilities.
We investigate the impact of reporting regulation on corporate innovation. Exploiting thresholds in Europe’s regulation and a major enforcement reform in Germany, we find that forcing firms to publicly disclose their financial statements discourages innovative activities. Our evidence suggests that reporting regulation has significant real effects by imposing proprietary costs on innovative firms, which in turn diminish their incentives to innovate. At the industry level, positive information spillovers (e.g., to competitors, suppliers, and customers) appear insufficient to compensate the negative direct effect on the prevalence of innovative activity. The spillovers instead appear to concentrate innovation among a few large firms in a given industry. Thus, financial reporting regulation has important aggregate and distributional effects on corporate innovation.
This paper studies the consumption response to an increase in the domestic value of foreign currency household debt during a large depreciation. We use detailed consumption survey data that follows households for four years around Hungary’s 2008 currency crisis. We find that, relative to similar local currency debtors, foreign currency debtors reduce consumption approximately one-for-one with increased debt service, suggesting a role for liquidity constraints. We document a variety of margins of adjustment to the shock. Foreign currency debtors reduce both the quantity and quality of expenditures, consistent with nonhomothetic preferences and “flight from quality.” We find no effect on overall household labor supply, consistent with a weak wealth effect on labor supply. However, a small subset of households adjusts labor supply toward foreign income streams. Affected households also boost home pro- duction, suggesting a shift in consumption from money-intensive to time-intensive goods.
MANY PEOPLE CLAIM THAT FIRMS NEED TO EMBRACE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. YET, WE KNOW LITTLE ABOUT DIGITAL EMBRACEMENT, ITS ANTECEDENTS, AND ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES. THIS ARTICLE PROPOSES A TEXTUAL APPROACH TO MEASURE DIGITAL EMBRACEMENT AND APPLIES IT IN AN EMPIRICAL STUDY COVERING 2,278 PUBLICLY LISTED U.S. FIRMS OVER 17 YEARS. THE RESULTS OUTLINE A VAST HETEROGENEITY IN FIRMS’ DIGITAL EMBRACEMENT IN AND ACROSS INDUSTRIES. REMARKABLY, A HIGHER DIGITAL EMBRACEMENT PREDICTS HIGHER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.
RECENTLY, A NEW CLASS OF SYSTEMS FOR SHARED AND COLLABORATIVE DATA MANAGEMENT HAS GAINED MORE AND MORE TRACTION. IN CONTRAST TO CLASSICAL DATA BASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (DBMS), SYSTEMS FOR SHARED DATA NEED TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GUARANTEES TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF DATA AND TRANSACTION EXECUTION. IN THIS PAPER, WE PRESENT TRUSTDBLE, A NEW DBMS THAT EXTENDS THE ACID PROPERTIES (I.E., ATOMICITY, CONSISTENCY, ISOLATION, DURABILITY) USED BY CLASSICAL DBMSS WITH A NEW VERIFIABILITY COMPONENT TO ADDRESS THESE NEW REQUIREMENTS.
