| Research Abstract |
I investigate how market prices the persistence of domestic and foreign earnings for multinational firms and whether the pricing is affected by the quality of geographic segment reporting. I find (1) market underprices the persistence of foreign earnings; (2) the mispricing of foreign earnings observed in firms with low quality reporting no longer exists in firms with high quality reporting. The latter is important because market's mispricing of foreign earnings lessens as segment reporting quality increases. In Japan, the new standard about segment reporting is effective for fiscal year beginning after March 31, 2010. New standard introduces management approach and achieves the convergence with international standards such as IFRS and SFAS. The results of this study suggest that positive effects may occur following the implementation of new standard in Japan.
