Research Abstract |
This study explores the fundamentals of profitability dispersion across ten countries between 1982 and 2007. Both accounting and economic factors cause this phenomenon. Using aggregated data, we report evidence that the dispersion is significantly related to income smoothing, discretion in reported earnings, the presence of small firms, and macro firm performance. The results are robust to the definition of profitability dispersion and differences of legal system.
