| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are two research outcomes as follows.
First, I examined the market response to achieving managers’ earnings forecasts through earnings management in Japanese setting. The results indicate that the rewards are not discounted for using accrual-based earnings management. Meanwhile, the results indicate that the rewards are discounted but still exist for using real earnings management.
Second, I examined earnings management to achieve industry-average profitability using the data of Japanese firms. The results indicate that Japanese firms engage in real and accrual-based earnings management to achieve industry-average profitability. The results also indicate that firms in more competitive industries engage in greater income-increasing earnings management to achieve industry-average profitability.
