讲座题目The Economics of Analyst-Auditor Connections

报 告 人罗淑清

报告时间2019年1月7日上午10:00-12:30

讲座地点宁远 429

报告内容We examine the effects of school ties between analysts and the signatory auditors of companies they cover. We perform our analysis on a sample of listed companies in China, where time-series information on school ties are available for analysts and auditors. We term analysts and auditors who attended the same university as “connected” when the analyst covers a company for which the auditor signs the audit opinion. We find that connected analysts issue earnings forecasts that are more accurate and less optimistically biased than those issued by other analysts following the same companies. This is consistent with auditors providing connected analysts with non-public information that improves analysts’ forecast performance. We also find that connected auditors are less likely to lose their existing clients, and more likely to attract new clients that are covered by a connected analyst. This is consistent with connected analysts reciprocating for the private information they receive (or anticipate receiving) from connected auditors. Finally, we also find evidence that the information sharing between connected auditors and analysts improves client companies’ information environment. We contribute to the literature by finding evidence of a novel new channel through which analysts obtain information that improves their forecasting performance and through which auditors inform capital markets.
