| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project investigates the nature of earnings that Japanese firms report in the face of labor negotiations. The findings of this project suggest that Japanese firms report more conservative earnings, which inform employees of firms’ real economic conditions, in the face of employee downsizing. The project does not find evidence suggesting that managers make accounting choices that deceive employees. In addition, the findings suggest that firms with strong employee influences are more likely to make accounting choices that inform employees of negative future outlooks prior to or during downsizing.
