| Abstract: |
Design/methodology/approach - Reviews relevant theoretical and empirical studies. Identifies 3,100 compliant firms adopting IFRS in 26 countries, using panel data for 2001-2005. Investigates capital market effects, cross-sectional variations, and the different effects in countries adopting IFRS at different times. Runs a difference-in-differences analysis and firm-level panel regressions, as well as cross-sectional analysis. Findings - Finds that mandatory adoption of IFRS means firms achieve higher market liquidity than those that do not adopt. However, shows that cost of capital rises for adopters, and Tobin's Q remains unchanged. Notes the cost of capital effects are stronger for firms that had adopted voluntarily. Reveals that IFRS is implemented with heterogeneous effects, depending on pre-existing convergence strategy, governance, legal regimes and enforcement. Research limitations/implications - Proposes research into the role of enforcement and governance regimes, and comparability and externality effects. Suggests longer-term analysis, Originality/value - Presents preliminary analysis of the impact of IFRS on the world economy, challenging the research student. |
