This study uses out-of-sample equity value estimates to determine whether earnings disaggregation, imposing valuation model linear information (LIM) structure, and separate industry estimation of valuation model parameters aid in predicting contemporaneous equity values. We consider three levels...

In this study, we extend the findings of Barth, Beaver, Hand, and Landsman (1999) by providing empirical evidence that for three levels of disaggregated earnings, (1) the structure provided by the Feltham-Ohlson model aids in predicting equity market values, and (2) forecasting of equity market...

This paper offers a view of the relevance of value relevance research for financial accounting standard setting that contrasts with the view offered in Holthausen and Watts (2001) (hereafter HW). A key conclusion of HW is that value relevance research offers little or no insight for standard...

We find, as predicted, that the differential ability of accrual and cash flow components of earnings to help forecast future abnormal earnings and the persistence of the components results in the components having different valuation implications. We base our tests on Ohlson (1999) applied to...

This study tests hypotheses about effects of the abandonment option on equity book value and net income valuation characteristics. As predicted, pricing multiples on and explanatory power of book equity (net income) increase (decrease) as firms approach liquidation or bankruptcy. Also, pricing...

This study provides evidence that fair value estimates of loans, securities and long-term debt disclosed under SFAS No. 107 provide significant explanatory power for bank share prices beyond that provided by related book values. In contrast to Eccher et al. (1996) and Nelson (1996), we...
