| Research Abstract |
The obejective of this research is to examine economic effects of corporate behavior in the changes of accounting standards on the assumptions that we clalify institutional factors and characteristics by analyzing earnings attributes in each country.
I analyze earnings attributes of Japanese firms by conducting international comparizon and I show that Japanese firms have three characteristics. Firstly, Japanese firms focus more on making profits. Secondly, Japanese firms shed more light on earnings smoothness. Thirdly, Japanese firms put more emphasis on the extent of matching expenses with revenues. Totally Japanese firms focus more on
flow numbers in financial statements. I analyze its effects to investment and dividend behavior by using the analysis of archival data from commercial database. I showed that making profits, earnings smoothness, and the extent of matching expenses with revenues could contribute to stable investment and dividend behavior.
