In the mid-2000s, the European Union adopted a number of regulatory reforms intended to increase transparency and disclosure for IPO firms, including mandating the use of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The reforms also included (1) adoption of the Prospectus Directive, which mandated increased IPO prospectus disclosures and (2) increased accounting enforcement. These new regulations apply only to IPOs listing on “EU-regulated” markets; firms admitted to trading on “exchange-regulated” markets are exempt. We examine the impact of these regulations on IPO firms. For firms listing on EU-regulated markets, we find no association between IFRS and IPO underpricing; however, we find a significant decrease in IPO underpricing associated with adoption of the Prospectus Directive in countries that also increased accounting enforcement. Further, we confirm that, after 2005, most IPOs on exchange-regulated markets went public using domestic accounting standards, not IFRS. Our findings suggest that mandatory IFRS adoption did not play a major role in reducing IPO underpricing and contrast sharply with prior results, which failed to account for IPOs on exchange-regulated markets. Our evidence highlights the importance of controlling for contemporaneous changes in regulations and details of the institutional setting before attributing major economic consequences to a switch from domestic accounting standards to IFRS.

重新研究强制采用国际财务报告准则对首次公开发行定价偏低的影响

在2000年代中期,欧盟通过了一系列监管改革,旨在提高IPO公司的透明度和信息披露,包括强制使用国际财务报告准则(IFRS)。改革还包括(1)通过《招股说明书指令》,该指令要求增加IPO招股说明书的披露,以及(2)加强会计执行。这些新规定仅适用于在“欧盟监管”市场上上市的IPO;获准在“外汇管制”市场上交易的公司是免税的。我们研究了这些法规对IPO公司的影响。对于在欧盟监管的市场上上市的公司,我们发现IFRS与IPO定价偏低之间没有关联。但是,我们发现,在一些国家/地区,由于采用了《招股说明书》,因此IPO定价过低的情况也大大减少,这也增加了会计执行的力度。此外,我们确认,在2005年之后,大多数在交易所管制市场上的IPO是使用国内会计准则而非IFRS进行公开发行的。我们的发现表明,采用国际财务报告准则在减少IPO定价偏低方面没有发挥主要作用,并且与之前的结果形成鲜明对比,后者未能说明交易所管制市场上的IPO。我们的证据表明,在将主要经济后果归因于从国内会计准则向IFRS的转变之前,控制法规和机构环境的同时变化非常重要。我们的发现表明,采用国际财务报告准则在减少IPO定价偏低方面没有发挥主要作用,并且与之前的结果形成鲜明对比,后者未能说明交易所管制市场上的IPO。我们的证据表明,在将主要经济后果归因于从国内会计准则向IFRS的转变之前,控制法规和机构环境的同时变化非常重要。我们的发现表明,采用国际财务报告准则在减少IPO定价偏低方面没有发挥主要作用,并且与之前的结果形成鲜明对比,后者未能说明交易所管制市场上的IPO。我们的证据表明,在将主要经济后果归因于从国内会计准则向IFRS的转变之前,控制法规和机构环境的同时变化非常重要。
