Title:Does the Mandatory Switch from Semiannual to Quarterly Reporting Reduce the Cost of Equity? International Evidence
Abstract:This paper investigates whether the mandatory switch from semiannual to quarterly reporting reduces the cost of equity in an international setting. Using a sample of 125,614 firm-year observations gathered from 40 countries between 1990 and 2010, I find that this mandatory switch indeed reduces the cost of equity, here, by 41 basis points. This reduction, however, is present only in countries with strong legal institution or low levels of market integration. In addition, I find that more information is brought to the market and price protection decreases after the mandatory switch. Taken together, these findings suggest that while the mandatory switch from semiannual to quarterly reporting benefits shareholders, these benefits depend on the countries' institutional environments.
