摘要
本文以2007-2016年A股上市公司为样本,从分析师跟踪、盈余预测精确度和分歧度三个方面考察了内控质量对分析师行为的影响。研究结果表明,内控质量越高的公司能够吸引更多的分析师跟随;内控质量更高的公司分析师的盈余预测也显著更为准确,不过上述经验关系只存在于高估实际盈余的样本组中;没有明显的证据表明内控质量影响了分析师预测分歧度。本文在拓展内部控制经济后果研究和分析师决策过程研究的同时,研究结论也对当前的市场监管具有一定的政策启示意义。
This paper examines the relation between internal control quality, the number of analysts following, accuracy of analyst earnings forecasts and forecast dispersion. Using a sample of A - share listed firms from 2007 to 2016, we find that: First, firms with better internal control attract more analysts. Second, analysts forecast accuracy is positively related to internal control quality. However, this positive relation only exists in the overestimated suhsample. Third, forecast dispersion is not significantly related to internal control quality. This study not only contributes to the literature on both analyst behavior and internal control, but also offers valuable implications to regulars.
