主题Did China’s Adoption of IFRS Attract More Foreign Investment?

摘要:We test whether China’s adoption of IFRS-based accounting standards has the intended effect of attracting more foreign institutional investment. Contrary to the intention of Chinese regulators and the claims of IFRS advocates, we find that foreign investment in China actually declines after IFRS adoption. We also find that the decline is larger among firms with weak incentives to credibly implement IFRS and among firms with greater opportunities to manipulate the fair value provisions of IFRS. Our evidence also suggests that IFRS adoption impairs foreign investors’ ability to pick profitable investments in China and that the investment decline is larger among investors from countries with weak legal and economic institutions than among investors from countries with strong institutions. Finally, we find that home country adoption of IFRS exacerbates the decline in investment from countries with weak institutions, while it attenuates the decline in investment from countries with strong institutions.
